About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a BACP counsellor with 27 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship troubles, trauma and abuse, grief, mood difficulties and major life changes. Jude speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is nervous about reaching out.
Jude believes each person understands their own story and brings strengths to the work.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. She encourages practical ways to cope alongside looking at deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. Her background includes long-term roles in sexual assault services and clinical leadership.
She also set up a student counselling service in education and later taught therapy for about 15 years. That mix of front-line practice and teaching shapes a calm, experienced approach. Jude has worked with people affected by bipolar difficulties, self-harm, addictions and intimate partner harm.
She also supports issues such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career concerns and ageing-related matters. These experiences inform her flexible style and broad understanding of life challenges. In sessions Jude draws on several practical therapies to help people make changes.
She aims to build a respectful professional relationship where clients feel heard, challenged and supported as they try new ways of coping and relating.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jude will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. She adapts sessions if something does not feel helpful so the plan evolves with the client's experience.
Online therapy can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings or when seeing a therapist in person is difficult.
