About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland supports people facing relationship worries, grief, mood shifts and other major life changes. She works with those dealing with trauma and abuse, bipolar difficulties, addictions and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Jude speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.
She sees the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day‑to‑day functioning. Jude uses conversational methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Her background spans 27 years working in UK services, including roles in sexual assault support and adult education.
She has also worked in leadership roles in education and supported people with performance anxiety in music settings. That variety shapes a flexible approach to each person's situation. Jude draws on a mix of approaches and tailors them to individual needs.
She blends hypnotherapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, client‑centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques where helpful. The aim is to match tools to goals, not to force one method on everyone. People can expect steady, straightforward support and a focus on practical change.
Jude emphasises being heard and respected while also offering gentle challenge. She works in English and sees international clients as well.

Online support
How Jude blends approaches for online therapy
Jude uses hypnotherapy to help people access relaxed focus and to work on unhelpful patterns, memories or reactions in a gentle, guided way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values and life goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jude will discuss each method and try options together so the client can see what fits. The aim is a collaborative plan that matches the person's goals, preferences and day‑to‑day realities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check‑ins work well by text or chat. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to keep momentum between sessions.
