About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland welcomes people who are worried about relationship strain, grief, trauma and big life changes. She has 27 years of UK practice and uses a calm, straightforward manner to help people talk through what matters most. Jude says clients bring strengths and knowledge of their own stories, and she works alongside them to find useful ways forward.
Jude draws on several therapy styles to match a person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. She tends to focus on relationships, sexual trauma, bipolar and personality-related difficulties, and issues around intimacy and addiction. She also supports people facing eating or sleeping struggles, career pressure, anger and low self-esteem.
Her background includes substantial work in sexual assault services and roles in adult education and college counselling. She has led clinical teams and helped set up student counselling provision. That varied practice informs a pragmatic, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
In meetings she listens for what you already do well, then suggests practical steps you can try between sessions. Conversations look at feelings, unhelpful patterns, and everyday choices that get in the way of goals. Jude aims to balance support with challenge so people feel seen and encouraged to try new things.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If you prefer a therapist who combines experience with a flexible, person-focused way of working, Jude may be a good match.

How Jude’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for relationship worries, depression and coping with major life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early experiences shape trust, closeness and reactions to jealousy or abandonment concerns, and helps people try different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jude will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. That decision is shared and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into everyday life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days and make it simpler to keep continuity when schedules shift. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often tailor session length and frequency so therapy fits practical needs while working toward the outcomes you want.
