About Judith

Judith Hearne, BACP, offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She supports those dealing with addictions, relationship strain, parenting worries, eating concerns and trauma. Judith aims to make the first step feel manageable and purposeful for anyone finding life overwhelming.

Her approach is warm and conversational. She creates an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Judith blends practical tools with moments of reflection so clients can try small changes between sessions.

Judith uses a mix of therapies to meet different needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values. Attachment and client-centred ways of working shape how she builds trust and explores relationships.

She has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. Judith is comfortable working with people whose faith is important to them and can incorporate religious perspectives when clients ask. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

People considering therapy are invited to take a practical step first. A short matching questionnaire helps pair needs with the right therapist, and scheduling is arranged after that. Judith encourages steady, doable progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approach adapts to online counselling

Judith draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as core tools. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice patterns of thought and try new behaviours to reduce distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying what matters most to someone and taking small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith aims to discuss goals and preferences with each person and tailor methods together. This collaborative process helps identify whether cognitive techniques, acceptance strategies or a more attachment-focused conversation will be the best fit.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and saving travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins simpler and allow for flexible scheduling around work or family life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your needs.
