Judy Khoury, BACP

Judy Khoury is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports people with self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and compassion fatigue. Judy works in both English and Arabic and accepts international clients.

Judy draws on seven years of professional experience as a BACP counsellor. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as on talking through the issues that matter most.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, helping clients clarify what they want to change and which problems feel most urgent. Together they build a plan that fits daily life and personal goals rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.

Judy has worked with a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, cancer and caregiver stress. She also has experience with addiction, eating and food-related issues, domestic violence and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.

People who choose Judy can expect a straightforward, supportive process. Conversations are tailored to the person rather than the disorder. The emphasis is on manageable steps, clearer communication and rebuilding strengths over time.

How approaches translate to online counselling

Judy works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours by setting small, achievable tasks and reviewing progress each week. This method can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Another useful approach emphasises rebuilding safety and trust after trauma. It involves paced conversations about difficult memories, grounding strategies to manage strong emotions and learning new ways to cope in everyday situations. This supports recovery from abuse, loss and distressing life events.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Judy will listen to your goals and concerns, then recommend the approaches that best match your situation. She works collaboratively so the plan can change as you learn what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life simpler, allowing shorter check-ins or flexible timings and removing travel time. It also makes it easier to connect across time zones when working with international clients.
