About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a counsellor with 27 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, mood disorders and life changes. Jude emphasises the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on during therapy.
She works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to create a space where people feel heard and valued.
Background and approach
Sessions combine listening with practical skills and gentle challenge when that helps progress. Jude aims to adapt to each person rather than follow a fixed method. Her background includes work in sexual assault services and roles supporting adults in education and performance settings.
This mix of clinical and educational experience informs how she supports people coping with sexual trauma, bipolar difficulties and intense relationship pain. She has also supported people with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and adjustment to illness or caregiving roles. Jude uses a range of therapeutic approaches depending on the person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify patterns of thinking, acceptance and commitment principles to clarify values and action, and attachment-based thinking to repair relationship wounds. Dialectical skills and client-centred listening are used when emotion regulation and validation are important. Her work often covers issues such as intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career worries, low self-esteem and coping after a disaster.
People who want a collaborative, experience-led approach and clear practical tools may find her style helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety and coping with life changes by focusing on small, value-driven steps.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps repair trust and closeness. It is often used when relationship difficulties or past hurt affect current connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest one or more ways to proceed. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping the focus on practical strategies and emotional support.
