About Judith

Judith Hearne is a counsellor with six years' experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship pain, eating concerns and life changes. She supports those facing career strain, trauma and depression. Judith also focuses on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, and ageing and geriatric issues.

Judith aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. She describes her approach as warm and supportive, and encourages clients who want a more fulfilling life to take practical steps towards change.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Judith is comfortable discussing faith when clients wish to include it in sessions, and has knowledge of the Bible.

Judith is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers work with people from other countries as appropriate. The cost varies with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Practical arrangements such as session length and timing are agreed at booking.

How Judith’s approaches translate to online work

Judith commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to test those thoughts. ACT focuses on values and accepting difficult feelings while taking meaningful action towards what matters to someone.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Judith will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. It can reduce the time needed for travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join from wherever they are based at the time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often find these practical benefits helpful when arranging ongoing work.
