About Judy

Counsellor Judy Khoury is a BACP member with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Judy aims to offer straightforward practical sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through immediate problems. Conversations focus on useful steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Her work also covers specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues and body image. She supports people facing illness, caregiver stress, codependency and difficulties with commitment or communication.

Judy has experience with addiction and eating and food-related issues, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and control or dependent personality patterns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and address these kinds of problems.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and international clients are accepted. Practical arrangements such as session style and fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people are invited to select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The counsellor then discusses the best way to proceed in the initial meeting.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Many of Judy's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach is problem-focused work that looks at current difficulties and develops practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This method helps people who are struggling with day-to-day symptoms and need clear actions to try between sessions.

A second useful approach is trauma-aware care that helps people process past hurt in small, paced steps. This style concentrates on building tolerance for difficult memories and on practical ways to manage strong emotions as they arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Judy will discuss options with each person and agree which techniques to try based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. The plan can be adjusted as needed so it fits the person's needs.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking. The counsellor's biography does not list specific formats, so please check which session types are offered at the time of booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during work breaks or from quieter locations, and different formats may suit different practical needs.
