Judith Hearne, BACP

Judith Hearne helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, relationship strain and trauma. Judith also assists with parenting pressures, career unhappiness and family conflict. She is known for creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk and be heard.

Judith has six years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide practical, person-focused work. She blends straightforward talking therapy with behavioural tools so people learn new ways to manage difficult feelings and reactions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Judith draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try out different behaviours. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and make values-based choices. Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships affect how someone connects now.

She is open to including a person’s faith in sessions if they want to, and she has familiarity with the Bible. Judith works with referral and online systems that welcome people from different places, including international clients, and she conducts sessions in English.

Clients typically use a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Practical options include video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Judith aims to help people build small, steady changes that fit their daily lives.

How Judith's approaches translate to online therapy

Judith uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT focuses on practical exercises and real-life experiments, which suit video and phone sessions where specific tasks can be reviewed together.

She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify their values and take small actions in line with those values. ACT often involves mindfulness and short exercises that can be practised between meetings and discussed during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. She aims to be collaborative and to adapt methods so they fit the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins or written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new skills in everyday life.
