About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a counsellor with 27 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She encourages people who are anxious about starting therapy and acknowledges the courage it takes to ask for help. Jude works in a direct, compassionate way and aims to help people feel heard and valued from the first conversation.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Jude also aims to challenge unhelpful thinking while holding respect for individual pace and choice.
Her background includes work in sexual assault services and roles supporting men and women affected by sexual trauma. She has also worked in education, setting up a student counselling service and later teaching therapy for about 15 years. This mix of frontline and teaching experience shapes a pragmatic style that balances short-term goals with longer-term change.
Jude uses a range of approaches to match a client's needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live with difficult thoughts, cognitive behavioural methods to address thinking patterns, and attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns. She also has experience with dialectical behaviour approaches and offers coaching around recovery from abuse.
People come to Jude for many concerns, including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar and mood issues, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, parenting strain and career questions. She accepts international clients and works in English.
How Jude's approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values rather than being driven by fear. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and adjusting to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of unhelpful thinking and behaviour; it is often useful for mood difficulties, sleep issues and managing distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand how early connections affect current relationships and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jude will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work or a blend feels most helpful, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and offer options when attending in person is difficult. If you prefer an approach that uses practical exercises or thought records, those can be adapted for remote sessions just as they are in person. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss the best way to make online sessions work for individual needs.
