About Judi
Counsellor Judi Lloyd is a UK-based practitioner and a member of NCPS with 15 years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns listed in her profile. Sessions are in English and international clients are accepted.
Judi uses a mix of approaches in session. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thought and behaviour. She also uses acceptance and commitment tools to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working shape how she attends to relationships and personal history.
In meetings she helps people talk through current problems such as sleep, eating, intimacy and parenting strain. She also supports work on longer-term issues including grief, addiction, ADHD and career questions. The focus is practical - identifying what is causing trouble now and what could help next.
Judi describes herself as offering life coaching alongside counselling. That means some sessions may include goal-setting and planning for change as well as emotional processing. Therapy style aims to be clear and down-to-earth, with tools and conversations that people can try between sessions.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, follow the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How Judi uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, flexible actions that move life in a wanted direction and can suit anxiety, depression and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, low mood and sleep issues.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feeling and behaviour. It is useful when relationship patterns, intimacy or attachment issues are a main concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judi will discuss different methods with the client and choose what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefit of online counselling is that it can fit around daily life. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can reduce travel, make it easier to fit a meeting into a lunch break, or allow a shorter phone check-in when time or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals offer the same therapeutic steps online as in person, adapted to the medium and the client's circumstances.
