About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and coping with life changes. Jude also supports people with mood conditions such as bipolar, and with issues around intimacy, addictions, sleep and eating. She has experience with LGBT concerns and career and self‑esteem difficulties.
Jude sees people as experts in their own lives and uses that perspective to build practical ways forward. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people try out new ways of thinking and behaving. She draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can include noticing thoughts, learning practical skills, and exploring attachment patterns in relationships.
Her background includes long experience in sexual assault services and work with adult survivors. She has also worked in higher education setting up student counselling and later teaching therapy for many years. That mix of frontline and teaching work shapes an approach that is straightforward and grounded in practice.
Jude aims to work respectfully and directly, offering clear feedback alongside compassionate listening. She is used to helping people facing big life transitions - leaving home, changing careers, relationship breakdowns, and bereavement. Sessions focus on small, usable steps that fit into everyday life.
If you are wondering whether therapy could help, Jude encourages a short initial match to see how you get on and to agree the ways of working that suit you.
Therapeutic approaches and doing therapy online
Judith draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT often focuses on practical steps and willingness to try different behaviours when life feels stuck. She also uses Attachment‑Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people understand repeating patterns and try new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jude will discuss your preferences, goals and what has helped or not helped before. Together you will decide which methods to try and adjust them as you go so sessions stay relevant to your situation.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the offered session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy schedules, remove travel time, and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It can also let you choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use audio only if that suits you better. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of online options, and Jude will explain what she uses so you can pick what fits your life.
