About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and anger. Jude also supports people dealing with addictions, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and changes at work or in life.
Jude believes people know their own stories and have strengths to draw on. She encourages clients to notice what already helps them and build from there. The first appointment is treated as a practical step to identify immediate concerns and realistic next steps.
Her background includes time working in a sexual assault centre with women and families and work supporting men who have been sexually assaulted. She has experience in education settings, having set up a student counselling service and later taught therapy for about 15 years. She also led a service in adult education at a music college and worked with performance anxiety using brainspotting therapy.
Jude uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. This lets her balance practical skills, emotional regulation, and exploring relationship dynamics.
People meet a practitioner who combines direct clinical work with coaching for recovery from abuse. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with the therapist offering challenge as well as support to help people manage anger, rebuild relationships, and cope with major life changes.
How sessions work
How Jude uses therapy approaches online
Jude often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values, which can reduce getting stuck in anger and avoidance. CBT focuses on practical skills such as spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different responses to stress.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. This can help people see why certain situations trigger strong emotions and learn new ways of relating. Jude approaches choosing methods as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which mix of techniques suits their goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Check the profile or confirm directly which session formats are available, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family life, and it allows for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, increasingly use these options to help clients maintain momentum between appointments and practise skills in day-to-day settings.
