Judy Khoury
Compassionate therapist for stress, trauma and life change
About Judy
Judy Khoury helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns and compassion fatigue. Judy works with individuals who identify as LGBT and people dealing with family-related pressures.
She speaks English and Arabic and practises in the United Kingdom. Judy has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses as the foundation for her practice.
Background and approach
She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Conversations are adapted to each person’s pace and needs rather than following a rigid script. In sessions Judy listens for what matters most to the client.
She focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. That can mean talking through coping strategies, reflecting on relationship patterns, or working through loss and trauma at a careful pace. Judy places importance on sensitivity and respect in the therapeutic relationship.
She collaborates on a personalised plan and adjusts it as progress is made. The aim is to help people build skills they can use outside sessions. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, body image and eating-related issues, addiction and substance concerns, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and cancer-related distress.
These areas are addressed through tailored conversations and practical support to help people move forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online support
Judy works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach emphasises talking through experiences and building coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this helps people handle everyday pressures and regain a sense of control. Another approach focuses on processing loss and trauma at a steady pace, helping people cope with grief and painful memories without being overwhelmed. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judy collaborates with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals and comfort level. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful. Online sessions bring practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for shorter updates or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
