She has specialised experience supporting survivors of sexual trauma and has worked in an NHS sexual assault centre with women and families, later serving as a clinical lead supporting men who had experienced sexual assault. Judith has also worked extensively with couples and brings training in EMDR for trauma processing as well as DBT for emotional regulation.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Judith blends evidence-informed approaches that suit different needs and situations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical action toward a meaningful life, while learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than being driven by them. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and can be helpful for people struggling with trust, intimacy, abandonment or attachment-related difficulties.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotional regulation, crisis coping or intense interpersonal conflicts are present; DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships in everyday life. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as the work unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family and travel, and supports steady progress even when life feels busy or unpredictable.
