About Barbara
Dr. Barbara Howard-Hunt is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-focused style to help people under stress. She holds NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Her approach aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier and less frightening. She helps people facing anxiety, panic attacks, depression and workplace strain. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Background and approach
Career and relationship concerns are included alongside women's issues and multicultural matters. Her sessions invite honest conversation and practical steps. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to match what each person needs.
Hypnotherapy and attachment-based ideas may be used when appropriate. Dr Howard-Hunt encourages small, manageable goals that fit everyday life. She focuses on building clarity, increasing motivation and reducing unhelpful patterns.
The aim is better coping and more confidence in day-to-day choices. People who choose her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She asks about what matters most and helps plan realistic next steps.

How Barbara works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr Howard-Hunt will collaborate with clients to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. That means talking about what feels most useful and adapting techniques as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and having shorter check-ins when needed. If you need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera, those options can shape how a session runs. The site’s booking process explains current session options, so confirm available formats before you schedule.
