About Judith "Jude" Holland
Judith "Jude" Holland brings 27 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom to her therapeutic work, drawing on a broad background supporting people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and life transitions. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify and build on the strengths they already have so they can face the challenges that brought them to therapy. She encourages new steps with compassion and recognizes the courage it takes to begin the therapeutic journey.
Her practice has included focused work with sexual trauma, bipolar disorder and borderline personality presentations, and she has experience supporting couples as well as individuals. She has worked within an NHS sexual assault centre with women and families and has also acted as a clinical lead working with men who have been sexually assaulted. Early in her career she set up a student counselling service in education and later taught therapy for about 15 years; she also served as head of service at a music college and university, where she supported young people with performance anxiety and used brainspotting techniques.
She is trained in dialectical behavior therapy and identifies as a professional female abuse recovery coach. Judith is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She is passionate about offering therapy that fits each individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, aiming to build a therapeutic relationship in which people feel heard, valued, supported, challenged and respected.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist follows, helping people explore feelings and values and build self-understanding; it is often helpful for concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship issues and life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness and coping with distress; it can be particularly useful for people experiencing emotional instability, self-harm urges or difficulties with regulation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, clarifying what matters most, and taking committed action toward chosen values; it works well for anxiety, depression and adapting to life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Judith works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to include people who live at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support in ways that suit an individual’s routine and comfort level.
