Experienced counsellor for trauma and relationships
About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland offers calm, steady support for people facing hard changes. She helps with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, mood difficulties and addictions. Jude tells people they are the expert in their own story and starts from that view.
She uses a warm, respectful style to help people feel heard and clearer about next steps. Jude has 27 years of professional experience and a BACP credential from the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in a sexual assault centre for the NHS and leadership roles in education and college counselling services. She has worked with adults across a range of concerns, including bipolar and borderline personality issues, and has supported people through sexual trauma and recovery from abuse. In sessions she draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
She uses techniques that help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns, ways to build more useful emotional skills, and methods that focus on relationships and values. Jude aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to daily life. People often come to her when they need help with intimacy, parenting strain, managing anger, eating or sleeping problems, or major life transitions.
She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. Jude combines listening with clear steps to help people move forward. Her practice accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
She invites people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.

Sessions & fees
Approach-led online therapy that fits your needs
Judith uses methods that help people change how they relate to difficult thoughts and feelings, and that strengthen important relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters and take small steps towards those values while learning to live alongside difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers hands-on strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.Choosing the right way to work is a collaborative process. Jude discusses different approaches with each person and adapts techniques to reflect their goals, preferences and life circumstances. She aims to match methods to the issue at hand rather than use a single fixed approach.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a more traditional face-to-face feel, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for short check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and reach a therapist from different locations.
