Therapy is a gift to yourself


I am Juanita Murphy, and I have twelve years experience helping people with addictions, anxiety, depression and trauma. In addition to my private practice, I have worked in the voluntary sector as a Samaritan and also as a therapist for Mind.

I offer one-on-one counselling sessions, either in person at my practice in Richmond or online, whichever you prefer.

I believe passionately that real change is possible and even in some of the most overwhelming and stressful situations, we can all have a life that’s worth living.

I specialise in a therapeutic counselling model referred to as Transactional Analysis, which is an accessible and understandable method that helps you make sense of your feelings, thoughts and behaviour.

I see therapy as a gift to yourself. It’s an opportunity to take time for you; you deserve to be happy with the life you have. 

A little aboutmy approach


I offer a range of psychotherapeutic approaches but specialise mainly in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.

Through the process of exploration, we enable self-knowledge and self-awareness to help you grow and conquer issues that you may have previously experienced as all-consuming or overwhelming.

We will not only look at your problems in the present but also identify the roots of these problems from your past. We will explore how your past experiences may have affected the way you live today and operate within your life in the present and when you become aware and understand this, it is possible for change to take place.

Our sessions can be in-person at my practice rooms in Richmond upon Thames or they can be online by video call.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, and cost £50.

The length of therapy, that is to say the number of sessions, is always a personal decision. I offer both short term and longer term support.
