About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, and career concerns.
Jude describes clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths people already have. She uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps that can ease daily life and reduce repeated problems.
Her background includes work in sexual assault services where she supported women and families, and service roles with men who experienced sexual assault. She has also run student counselling services and spent many years teaching therapy in further and higher education. Jude has led services in adult education settings, including work with performance anxiety in music students.
Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She aims to match methods to each person rather than using a single fixed model. Jude also offers coaching for abuse recovery alongside longer-term therapy work where that is helpful.
She works with a wide range of complex issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress and communication problems. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Judith uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values. ACT often helps when someone feels stuck by painful thoughts or emotions and wants practical ways to move forward. She also works with Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach can help with trust, closeness and repeated conflict in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jude will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. The aim is a collaborative process that adjusts as understanding grows and circumstances change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without being on camera if someone prefers less visual contact. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online appointments to reduce travel time and help therapy fit into everyday life.
