About Juanita

Juanita Murphy works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression by using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centred attitude. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Murphy starts by listening to each person’s story and recognising their strengths. She frames the work around practical steps someone can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and what small changes could reduce overwhelm and build confidence.

Her background includes supporting people who struggle with process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography, and with sex addiction. She also has experience with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-harm and difficulties around communication and forgiveness. That range informs the practical tools she brings to sessions.

Sessions involve joint problem-solving and planning. Clients can expect clear explanations of different approaches and suggestions for manageable actions. Murphy aims to help people understand their patterns and find workable strategies for day-to-day life.

She works in English and practises within the UK. To book, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Juanita works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centred style. Evidence-based approaches mean using methods that have been tested and shown to help with specific problems. In practice this looks like offering clear explanations, exercises to try between sessions, and guided conversation to address symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression and addictive behaviours.

Two approaches commonly used in this kind of work are behavioural techniques and trauma-focused talking therapies. Behavioural techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns by breaking them into small, manageable steps and practising alternatives in daily life. Trauma-focused talking therapies help people process distressing memories or reactions and reduce their impact on current functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, explain how each method might help, and agree a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps to tailor the sessions to what the person wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while face-to-face sessions may suit different preferences.
