Juanita Murphy, BACP

Juanita Murphy is a UK-based therapist credentialed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings three years of professional experience supporting people through a range of emotional and behavioural challenges. She focuses on practical, evidence-informed work with stress, anxiety, depression, and a variety of addictions, alongside helping clients recover from trauma and abuse.

Juanita places emphasis on the individual strengths every person brings to therapy, viewing clients as the experts of their own stories while offering guidance to build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as panic attacks, communication difficulties, self-harm, and struggles with self-love and life purpose.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that honours their goals and pace, with support tailored to issues including process and sex addictions, forgiveness, and post-traumatic stress. Juanita recognises that reaching out for change requires courage, and she aims to provide steady, compassionate support as people take steps toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Juanita uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. This approach helps clients identify patterns, test new ways of thinking, and build skills that support day-to-day coping and clearer decision making.

She also employs skills-based work that teaches emotional regulation and stress management, useful for people recovering from trauma, addressing addictions, or aiming to improve self-esteem and communication. These techniques emphasise learning concrete tools to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Juanita collaborates with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options, adapt strategies over time, and agree on steps that feel achievable and aligned with the client’s values.

Online therapy with Juanita is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to work around schedules and location. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
