About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a counsellor who focuses on relationship and trauma-related concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to help people facing grief, mood difficulties, addiction and the stress of life changes. Jude has 27 years of experience and works from a strengths-based view that treats each person as the expert on their own story.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens, helps name emotions, and works with clients to find practical next steps. The aim is to make sense of painful patterns and build more satisfying ways of relating to others and to oneself. Jude’s background includes work in sexual assault services for the NHS and roles supporting people affected by sexual trauma.
She has taught therapy for about 15 years and set up a student counselling service early in her career. That mixture of clinical and teaching work shapes a calm, experienced manner in sessions. She also supports people dealing with complex and overlapping problems, such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, attachment issues and the fallout of abandonment.
Jude makes room for difficult feelings while encouraging small, manageable changes. Clients can expect to be heard and treated with respect. Jude aims to balance validation with gentle challenge so people can move toward their own goals.
She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Online support
Therapy approaches you can use online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in relationships. It helps people and couples recognise key emotions, see how patterns form between partners, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to choose actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with big life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative choice lets each person shape sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and body language. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit busy days. Live chat or messaging work for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when writing helps clarify feelings. These options give practical flexibility so therapy can fit around work, travel or family life.
