About Judy

Judy Khoury is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Judy approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She focuses on practical support to help people manage hard days and make clearer decisions.

Judy works by tailoring conversation and a plan to each person’s needs. She listens to what matters to the client and adjusts the pace accordingly. Sessions can include talking through difficult memories, practising coping skills, and planning small changes that fit everyday life.

Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, issues around self-esteem and body image, and challenges linked to adoption and foster care. Judy supports people facing caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, and recovery from substance or eating difficulties. She also helps with communication and control issues that get in the way of daily life.

Judy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers help in English and Arabic and works with people from different backgrounds, including those outside the UK. Her approach aims to be straightforward and practical so clients can apply what they learn between sessions.

To begin, she asks people to describe their main concerns and goals so a personalised plan can be agreed. The emphasis is on steady progress and building skills that make life more manageable.

How evidence-based techniques can help online

Judy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach she draws on helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as grounding exercises, breathing techniques and structured problem solving. These tools are taught in simple steps and practised in session so they can be used between meetings.

Another common strand of her work addresses trauma and loss by creating a steady, paced way to talk about difficult events and their effects. This approach balances gentle exploration of memories with learning ways to reduce intense reactions, helping people regain a clearer sense of day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Judy will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, and then adapt the work as you go. She aims to match techniques to your needs rather than using one fixed plan.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoiding travel and allowing check-ins during a lunch break or quieter time. It can also make ongoing skill practice simpler, since tools taught in session can be applied straightaway at home or work.
