About Judy

Judy Khoury is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports work on self-esteem, relationship strain, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related concerns. Judy offers sessions in English and Arabic and accepts international clients.

She brings seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Judy aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She works to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and caring, and she helps people break problems into manageable parts. Judy pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices and feelings.

She can help people navigate grief, addiction-related concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and stresses around caregiving or cancer. Judy also addresses communication problems, codependency, eating and body image worries, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence.

Expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and adjusted as needed. Judy supports people who want clearer communication, steadier mood, or strategies to cope with change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Judy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage daily stress, strong emotions and difficult memories. One commonly used approach focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours, helping people notice patterns and try alternative responses. Another approach emphasises practical coping skills - breathing, pacing activities, and small behavioural changes - to reduce distress and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and listens to feedback about what helps or does not help.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time and keep continuity when schedules change. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a break at work, and it may be more convenient for those in different time zones, including international clients.
