About Judith
Judith "Jude" Holland is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 27 years of professional experience. She works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and life changes. Jude also supports people with bipolar, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, low self-esteem and career questions.
Jude believes clients know their own stories and brings that perspective into sessions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to help name and work with emotions that are hard to talk about. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when these fit the client’s needs.
Her background includes setting up a student counselling service and teaching therapy for about 15 years. She has worked in a sexual assault centre and with male survivors as a clinical lead. That experience shaped her practice with sexual trauma and abuse recovery, and informs how she approaches safety and pacing in sessions.
Jude has worked with people facing serious life stress such as chronic illness, caregiver strain and bereavement. She has supported clients around commitment and communication problems, blended family issues, and the emotional effects of ageing. She also brings experience with autism spectrum concerns and avoidant personality patterns.
Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful style. Jude aims to listen, reflect and offer practical ways to try new ways of relating and coping. She also offers coaching work alongside therapeutic care for people who want focused, goal-oriented support.
How Jude uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name the feelings that keep them stuck in relationship patterns. It focuses on emotions and interactional moments so people can change how they respond to each other. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasises values and practical steps to build a life worth living, using small actions to move towards what matters. Attachment-Based ideas look at early connection patterns and how they show up in adult relationships, helping people recognise and change repeating dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jude works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s concerns, goals and preferences. She will discuss whether EFT, ACT or attachment-informed strategies are the best match and adapt the work as needs change.
