Judith "Jude" Holland

Judith “Jude” Holland is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings 26 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She has supported people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and the challenges that come with life changes.

Jude believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that clients hold strengths that can help them move through what feels overwhelming. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can take courage and values the commitment involved in taking that first step.

Her clinical experience includes work with sexual trauma, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, and she has worked with couples. Jude is a trained EMDR therapist, a professional female abuse recovery coach, and trained in DBT. Her NHS experience includes time in a sexual assault centre supporting women and families, and she has also served as a clinical lead working with men who have been sexually assaulted.

Jude began her therapeutic career establishing a student counselling service in education and later spent around 15 years teaching therapy. She remained in adult education as head of service at a music college/university, where she supported young people with performance anxiety using brainspotting therapy. She is passionate about offering therapy that fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, and she aims to build a therapeutic relationship in which people feel supported, heard, valued, challenged and respected.
