About Juanita

Juanita Murphy works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and holds BACP recognition. She has three years of clinical experience supporting people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people coping with addictions and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Juanita believes that each person is the expert in their own life. She looks for strengths you already have and uses them as a starting point for change.

Background and approach

Taking a first step can feel frightening, and she aims to make that step easier and clearer. In sessions she focuses on practical, manageable steps rather than lengthy theory. Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented.

Together the aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and build confidence in everyday life. She works with people facing process and behavioural addictions such as pornography, exercise or gambling concerns, as well as sex addiction and substance-related problems. Other areas she supports include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-harm and struggles with self-love and forgiveness.

Juanita also helps with communication problems and questions about life purpose. She offers a calm, patient presence and encourages small changes that add up over time. Her approach is collaborative and practical, helping people move from survival to feeling more in control.

Practical approaches and flexible online therapy

Many common therapeutic approaches focus on changing unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour. Cognitive-based techniques look at how thoughts influence mood and actions and teach simple strategies to challenge and reframe those thoughts, which can help with anxiety and panic. Behavioural strategies use gradual, manageable steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence, often useful for panic attacks and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, concerns and preferences and then try methods that suit those needs. That collaborative attitude means plans are adjusted as progress is made or as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or limited schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break or commute. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in more often or share thoughts between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on the conversation and the steps that help you feel better.
