About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland offers a calm, practical approach for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, loss or depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients map what matters most and find small steps forward. Jude has 27 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.
She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and what keeps them stuck.
Background and approach
Jude aims for clear, manageable goals rather than long lists of jargon. Her background includes work in sexual assault services and roles supporting people after trauma. She has held clinical lead posts and set up counselling services in educational settings.
Jude also taught therapy for about 15 years and led student support services in higher education. Over the years she has helped people with relationship problems, grief, bipolar difficulties, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with illness, caregiver stress, attachment wounds and issues around ageing or blended families.
Jude uses a mix of well-known approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based work. She prefers to adapt methods to fit each person rather than follow a single model. The result is a practical, respectful way of working that aims to help people feel heard and move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will explore your goals, history and preferences with you and suggest methods that might help. Decisions are revisited as you progress so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, lower-intensity support. These options give flexibility for timing, travel and how you prefer to communicate.
