Judy Khoury, BACP

Judy Khoury is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Judy aims to meet people with sensitivity and respect as they take the first steps towards change.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Conversations and a tailored plan guide the work together. She adapts how she talks and what she offers to fit each person’s needs rather than using a fixed script.

Judy has supported people facing a wide range of challenges. These include compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, issues around abandonment, attachment concerns, and difficulties tied to adoption and foster care. She also works with people affected by illness such as cancer, and with those managing addiction, eating and body-image problems.

Practical relationship concerns feature in her practice too. Clients bring worries about communication, commitment, control, codependency, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. Judy also offers support around LGBT issues and the emotional effects of life changes.

She communicates in English and Arabic. Her counselling uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, and she shapes sessions around each person’s goals. To begin, she asks about what matters most to the client and builds a plan from there.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Judy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. One common approach focuses on understanding and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression; it involves setting small goals and practising new ways of coping. Another approach looks at the effects of trauma and distress on daily functioning, helping people develop skills to manage difficult memories and strong emotions while rebuilding a sense of safety and routine.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Judy works with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adjusts the way she works as needed. This makes therapy a collaborative effort rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Practical benefits include fewer travel demands, easier scheduling around work or caregiving commitments, and the ability to select a quieter time that suits the client.
