Judy Khoury, BACP

Judy Khoury is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and major life changes such as midlife transitions. Judy aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin difficult conversations and find clearer ways forward.

Her work is practical and person-centred. She listens to each person’s story and adapts how sessions run to match individual needs and goals. Conversations focus on what matters most right now and on manageable steps people can try between sessions.

Judy pays attention to relationship and identity concerns, including LGBT matters, self-esteem, communication problems and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. She also offers support around caregiving strain, cancer-related worries, addiction and eating or body image issues when these are part of someone’s current difficulties.

She describes herself as sensitive and compassionate, tailoring dialogue and any plan to the person in front of her. Her approach balances emotional understanding with clear, achievable goals so people feel they are making progress.

Judy works in English and Arabic. She encourages people to take the first step when they are ready, and to use the initial appointment to see if her style feels like the right fit.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Judy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage; this is useful for stress, anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasises exploring and processing difficult memories and experiences so trauma, grief and loss feel less intrusive in day-to-day life.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Judy will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences and pace. That choice is reviewed as work progresses so sessions stay relevant and useful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep going if someone has moved or is living abroad, and it supports access to therapists who speak English or Arabic across different locations.
