About Judith
Judith Ramsay is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and guilt and shame. Judith also supports those facing career changes, trauma, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and other overlapping concerns.
She trained at Sunderland University with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and uses an integrative style. That means she draws on a small set of approaches and picks techniques that fit each person. Sessions are conversational and practical. Judith treats the person, not just the problem, and invites them to use their own experience as part of the work.
In practice she often uses Client-Centred Therapy to build understanding, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for thinking and behaviour patterns, and Solution-Focused methods for short-term goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure where to begin.
Judith has particular experience supporting adult survivors of childhood abuse and people who care for others. She helps carers name the impact of caring on their life and health, and explores coping strategies that fit daily routines. Her approach is direct and respectful, with a focus on practical steps.
People contact Judith about difficult feelings that linger after events, such as guilt and shame, or about repeated patterns they want to change. She encourages clear goals and small shifts that build over time.
How Judith uses practical approaches in online sessions
Judith commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy means she listens closely and follows what a person brings, helping them make sense of their feelings. CBT focuses on how thoughts and behaviours interact and gives clear exercises to shift patterns that feed anxiety, guilt or low mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want change but feel unsure or stuck. That approach uses focused conversation to explore ambivalence and build commitment to small, manageable steps. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and Judith discusses options with each person at the start of therapy.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, care duties or travel. They can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a busy day. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking, as current options can vary; check the therapist's online therapy options to find what formats are available. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools from CBT, client-centred work and motivational interviewing to the online setting, and Judith will work with clients to find practical ways to make the sessions fit their lives.
