About Judith
Judith Hearne is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship trouble. She supports those coping with family strain, eating concerns, parenting pressures, career change, grief and trauma. Judith aims to make it easier to take the first step towards change and calmer day to day living.
Her way of working is straightforward and compassionate. She creates an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
Background and approach
Judith listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people find practical steps they can try between sessions. Judith draws on several recognised approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas. She blends these methods to suit each person rather than following a single script.
Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, achievable goals. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and client-centred practice when they fit the work.
Judith can acknowledge and include a client’s spiritual or religious background if that is important to them, and she has familiarity with the Bible for those who wish to bring faith into therapy. Judith has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She works with adults who want practical coping tools, clearer relationships, and steadier emotional balance.
Approach, online options and what they offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes by emphasising small steps and clear goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and practising alternative ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and managing difficult habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Judith treats therapy as a joint process and will discuss which methods might fit best for a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will adjust the balance of techniques as the work progresses so clients find what helps them in practice.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need frequent brief contact, or who wish to reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still using ACT, CBT and attachment-informed ideas.
