About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a counsellor with 27 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, mood difficulties such as bipolar and depression, and problems with sleep, eating and addiction. Jude approaches clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to help them use their strengths to manage painful or confusing moments.
Jude values practical, straightforward work. She listens first, then helps people decide what to try next. Sessions can include talking through feelings, practising skills to manage distress, and exploring patterns that get in the way of closer relationships or steadier moods.
Her background includes a mix of frontline and teaching roles across health and education settings. She has worked in a sexual assault centre with women and families and led services addressing men who had experienced sexual assault. She also set up a student counselling service and later taught therapy for about 15 years in adult education and higher education contexts.
Alongside counselling, Jude has supported people as an abuse recovery coach and has experience with performance anxiety and brainspotting in educational and music settings. She stresses that there is no one-size-fits-all path; therapy is a collaborative process tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
People who choose Jude can expect a respectful, direct style that balances support and challenge. She aims to build a working relationship where clients feel heard, valued and able to try new ways of coping.
Approaches that guide online work and choice
Judith combines approaches that help people notice what matters and build clearer ways to live. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take steps that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current bonds, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for mood, sleep and anxiety-related difficulties.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jude will talk with each client about their situation, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also help people continue therapy when they are away from home or need a session that fits around other commitments.
