About Barbara
Dr. Barbara Howard-Hunt uses an approach that centres on practical, people-focused therapies to help with work and wellbeing concerns. She brings six years of professional experience and works to create a calm space where someone can talk through overwhelming thoughts and feelings. She narrates steps simply and helps people consider what matters most to them.
Her work draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to explore patterns that affect relationships and work life. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are additional tools she may use when appropriate.
Clients come for a range of issues including trauma and abuse, panic attacks, and workplace problems. She also supports people facing isolation, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and seasonal mood changes. Women’s issues and social anxiety are listed among her focus areas.
Sessions are conducted in English and delivered from the United Kingdom. Her credential is NCPS which appears with her professional details. Dr Howard-Hunt does not accept international clients at this time.
In sessions she aims to listen without judgement, help people notice what matters, and practise small, manageable steps between meetings. People who are unsure what approach will suit them are encouraged to explore options together and set clear, practical goals.
How her approaches work online and in practice
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and finding direction at work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try different, more helpful ways of responding to problems like panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses, which can help with relationship strain and workplace interactions.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to change, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on how it feels and what works. That way the approach is matched to needs, goals and personal preference rather than being fixed in advance.
Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a job, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also let people choose a quieter time for discussion or avoid being on camera if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats, so checking available session types will help find a practical arrangement that fits everyday life.
