About Juanita

Juanita Murphy is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience. Juanita aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about what is worrying them and take small steps forward.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those struggling with addictions, trauma and past abuse. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the issues she addresses alongside self-harm and concerns about self-worth.

Juanita works from the idea that each person knows their story best. She looks for strengths to build on and practical ways to reduce distress. Conversations focus on what feels workable in daily life, not on jargon or pressure to change overnight.

Sessions often start by clarifying immediate goals and practical steps. Over time she helps people develop coping strategies, better communication and clearer priorities. She also supports those examining patterns linked to process and sex addictions, and people wanting to rebuild self-love after difficult experiences.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Juanita encourages honest conversation and steady progress. She emphasises real-world actions that fit into busy lives rather than long lists of theory.

Evidence-based approaches and online counselling

Juanita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching simple breathing and grounding strategies alongside ways to manage triggers. Another approach emphasises examining patterns that sustain addictions or low self-worth, helping people spot repeating behaviours and try different responses.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match their goals and circumstances. Decisions about focus and pace are made together, so the work stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings. It can reduce travel time and make regular check-ins simpler to arrange. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, so readers should check available options when they complete the matching questionnaire.
