Judith Hearne , BACP

Judith Hearne is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, eating concerns and depression. She supports people coping with life changes, parenting pressures, career difficulties and the impact of trauma and abuse. Judith also works with specific struggles such as attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress and long-term health issues.

She uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. Judith aims to make the room feel open and non-judgemental so thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She encourages small practical steps and pays attention to each person’s values and priorities.

Judith draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. She blends these with client-centred listening to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Judith also uses skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation or distress tolerance are needed.

Her practice reflects six years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Judith is comfortable acknowledging a client’s spiritual or faith background and can include those perspectives when it feels helpful and requested.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Judith commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clearer on what matters to them and take small steps in those directions while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early patterns affect present relationships and to build safer ways of relating. These approaches are explained and adapted together with the client so they fit each person's situation and goals. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process between therapist and client rather than a fixed choice.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit around busy days or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. This range gives more flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
