About Judi

Judi Lloyd is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and related concerns. She also helps with issues such as self-esteem, grief, addictions, ADHD and intimacy-related problems.

Background and approach

Judi accepts international clients and carries out sessions online in English. Her approach is practical and person-centred.

Sessions focus on clear goals, building coping skills, and improving communication. She uses a mix of talking therapies so each plan is shaped to the person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Judi draws on the Gottman Method when working on relationship patterns and communication. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Attachment-Based ideas to understand how past bonds affect present relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to address mood and anxiety symptoms. In a typical session she helps people identify what matters to them, spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and practise small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Sessions can include coaching-style goal work alongside psychotherapy techniques to support practical change. Judi works online via video, phone, live chat and text messaging.

New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payments are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work online

Judi uses the Gottman Method to look at how couples communicate and manage conflict, focusing on practical exercises that improve listening and reduce negative cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can aid with anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try different techniques to find what fits best. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adapt the plan as needs change.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions and fit around busy schedules.
