About Judi

Judi Lloyd is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and identity, including LGBT concerns.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what feels stuck and on small, repeatable steps that make everyday life easier. She mixes evidence-based methods with coaching-style goal work to help people set priorities and test what helps most.

Judi uses a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred ideas when people need emotional regulation skills or a straightforward reflective space. This variety lets her match tools to the problem someone brings.

People come to her for things like panic, low mood, grieving losses, problems with intimacy, addictive behaviours, or the strain of major life changes. She also supports those managing ADHD, chronic health challenges, body-image concerns and parenting stress.

Work typically blends practical skill-building with reflections about patterns and relationships. Sessions can also include coaching on goals such as career decisions or rebuilding routines after loss. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and to take small values-based actions despite painful feelings. It is useful for long-standing guilt, avoidance and rumination. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. It suits worries, panic and repetitive guilt thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape shame and trust in current relationships, which can help with intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's goals, preferences and what they want to change. This is a collaborative process aimed at fitting techniques to the person's situation rather than using one fixed method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use simpler audio if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor the practical setup to what will work best for everyday life.
