Judi Lloyd

Judi Lloyd is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain and anger. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, career uncertainty and the challenges of ADHD and neurodiversity. Her work includes coaching elements when clients want clear goals and action plans.

She draws on a blend of talking therapies that are practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client now, spotting patterns that get in the way, and trying out new ways of responding. Judi uses straightforward tools from cognitive and behavioural approaches alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase valued action.

Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape how she builds trust and explores painful relationship patterns. At times clients practise emotional regulation skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to cope with distressing moods and impulses. The emphasis is on simple, repeatable strategies that can be used between sessions.

Judi explains concepts in everyday language and works collaboratively to set goals. She aims to help people regain control, improve relationships, and find realistic steps forward after loss or change. Her background includes both psychotherapy and life coaching elements that inform a practical approach to emotional difficulties.

Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are delivered in English. International clients can be seen; readers should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can quickly reduce worry and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now, helping people change how they connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judi will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. It can make scheduling easier around work, childcare or travel. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins by phone if bandwidth or time is limited, while others choose video for face-to-face conversation.
