About Judith
Counsellor Judith Day is a BACP member with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and coping with life changes, and also supports those affected by ADHD.
Judith uses a client-centred way of working. She listens and follows the client’s pace. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and the situations causing distress. The aim is to gradually make sense of what is happening and consider practical next steps.
She describes a simple metaphor to explain emotional work: thoughts and feelings can be tucked away in a cupboard. Together they open those cupboard doors a little at a time. Sometimes the conversation is about easing pressure. Other times it is about finding small ways to resolve problems.
Judith keeps her language plain and uses straightforward conversation rather than technical terms. She pays attention to respect and sensitivity in sessions and avoids judgement. She adapts the direction of work to what feels helpful for each person.
Her background includes six years working with a broad range of life challenges, including abandonment, attachment issues, ageing concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control issues. She also lists experience with cancer-related concerns and coping after disasters.
People meet her to talk about current struggles, to make sense of persistent feelings, or to find coping strategies for change. To begin, clients use the site matching process and then arrange a first session.
How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without directing the conversation and reflecting back what the client says. This approach helps when someone is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief or major life changes because it keeps the work grounded in what matters most to the client.Judith’s method is conversational and paced to the client. She uses the client-centred stance to help people notice feelings, put words to difficult experiences, and decide what to address next. The therapist and client decide together which topics to focus on and how quickly to move.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Judith will discuss which approach feels most useful and adapt as needs and goals become clearer. That collaborative decision means the shape of sessions can change over time to suit the individual.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy life and removing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to schedule sessions around work and caring commitments. The exact session formats offered are not specified here, so check the counsellor’s booking details to confirm which options are available before scheduling.
