About Juanita

Juanita Murphy builds her counselling work around practical help and clear goals. She has three years of experience as a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom. She invites people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety or low mood to take a first step toward change.

She focuses on addiction-related concerns as well as trauma and abuse. She also supports people managing panic, post-traumatic stress, self-harm urges and difficulties with self-esteem.

How Juanita works

Sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating. Juanita treats communication and forgiveness struggles, and helps people reconnect with life purpose and self-love. She talks through practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence.

Work is tailored to each person’s pace and priorities. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She recognises each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Conversations aim to be honest, calm and goal-focused rather than abstract or overly clinical. Therapy typically mixes short-term practical tools with deeper reflection when that suits the client. Juanita explains options clearly and helps people choose steps they can try between sessions.

The aim is to leave people feeling better able to cope and make clearer choices.

Online support options

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Many therapists draw on well-established, evidence-based techniques that teach concrete skills. One common approach is structured skill teaching that focuses on coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and grounding tools to reduce immediate distress and help manage panic attacks. These techniques suit people wanting quick, practical ways to regain control. Another useful set of techniques involves trauma-informed work that helps people name and process upsetting experiences at a manageable pace. This often combines gentle pacing with support for understanding triggers, which can ease post-traumatic stress and reduce reactivity over time. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, check what feels tolerable and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. Together you decide whether to focus on short-term coping, deeper processing, or a mix of both. Online formats offer practical benefits that make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These choices give flexibility so therapy can fit work, family duties or limited free time while still supporting meaningful progress.
