About Juanita
Counsellor, BACP member, with three years' experience helping people in the United Kingdom with stress and anxiety and addiction-related concerns. Juanita Murphy uses a counselling approach that focuses on practical support and clear conversation. She works with people feeling low, overwhelmed, or stuck and those facing problems around self-esteem and motivation.
Juanita listens to each person's story and helps them name what is most pressing. She encourages small, achievable steps and practical coping strategies. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, and with those experiencing panic, post-traumatic stress, and various process or sex-related addictions. Juanita also supports people who want to work on communication problems, forgiveness, or clarifying life purpose.
Her background is in UK counselling practice and she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the concern at hand. She treats the person rather than a label, and adapts conversations to what feels relevant and usable for the individual.
People who prefer clear steps, practical coping tools, and straightforward conversation may find this approach helpful. Before booking, check which session formats she currently offers to confirm they match your needs.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Juanita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the issue a person brings. One common approach is brief, structured work that focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. This helps with anxiety, panic and low mood by giving clear steps to try between sessions. Another useful approach is coping-skills focused work for addictions and process behaviours, which looks at triggers, routines and alternative strategies to reduce harmful patterns.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, explain what each approach involves, and agree on a way forward based on the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as things progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Ask about the available formats when you schedule your first appointment so you can pick what will work best for you.
