Judith "Jude" Holland works with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges. She offers calm, practical support for relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, mood concerns including bipolar, addictions, and difficulties with intimacy or self‑esteem. Jude encourages people to take the first step and acknowledges that asking for help takes courage.

Jude is a BACP counsellor with 27 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her work has included roles in sexual assault services, leading clinical work with men who have been sexually assaulted, and founding a student counselling service in education.

Background and approach

She has also spent many years teaching therapy and later led a student support service in music education where she worked with performance anxiety. Her approach is collaborative and flexible. She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and uses practical talking and skills-based strategies to help people manage day-to-day problems.

Sessions focus on building strengths, improving communication, and developing ways to cope with loss, change or painful memories. Jude draws on a range of approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused methods, client-centred talking, cognitive behaviour techniques and dialectical behaviour ideas. She adapts these to each person rather than following a single model.

Jude aims to create a relationship where clients feel heard, challenged and respected as they work towards their goals. Sessions are available online and internationally in English, and Jude can work with people who want short-term help or longer-term support. She invites anyone wondering about therapy to take the first step and explore what might help them next.

How Jude's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for grief, life changes and ongoing mood challenges.

Attachment‑based work focuses on relationships and the patterns we form with others. It helps people understand how past connections shape current reactions and supports building more supported ways of relating. Client‑centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathetic listening and a supportive space to make sense of challenges.

Jude will work with each person to find the best mix of approaches. She sees the choice of method as a collaborative decision based on the client’s goals, needs and preferences and will adapt over time as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video suits deeper conversation and visual connection, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family or travel while accessing professional support from registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
