About Barbara
Dr Barbara Howard-Hunt is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career challenges, relationships, family concerns, anger and depression. She uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy.
Barbara works in a direct, practical way. She asks about current difficulties and what the person wants to change. Sessions are conversational and aim to make thoughts and feelings clearer. She helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going and then tries options to change them.
Her approach draws on ACT to help people accept difficult thoughts while committing to valued action. CBT is used to identify and test unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Attachment ideas help look at how early relationships affect current responses.
Hypnotherapy is offered as another tool to support motivation and reduce stress when appropriate. Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions around the person’s agenda and pace. Together these methods are used to address things like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and workplace difficulties.
Barbara also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, social anxiety, women’s issues, seasonal mood changes and multicultural matters. She encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions to build new ways of coping.
To start, a person completes an initial matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time; costs vary by location.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to small actions that match what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps identify unhelpful thinking, test new viewpoints and practise different responses for issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety and low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and relationship difficulties. It can help people understand repeated patterns in close connections and in responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals and preferences together and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That way sessions stay practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday routines.
