About Judith

Judith Ramsay is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, grief and life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues.

Judith uses straightforward talking therapies to help people notice what is getting in the way and try practical steps forward. She will listen to the problem as the client tells it and then suggest short-term strategies and skills. Sessions focus on concrete changes such as coping tools, communication techniques and small experiments to test new ways of acting.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling from Sunderland University and practice using a mix of Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Judith has worked with adult survivors of childhood abuse and with carers exploring the effects of caring on their own wellbeing.

People who come to her looking for help with eating or sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, or compassion fatigue will find practical approaches aimed at daily routines and decision-making. She also addresses issues linked to chronic illness, pain or cancer, and separation or divorce.

Judith frames sessions around the client’s own experience and strengths. She and the person in therapy decide together which approaches to try and how to measure small steps of progress.

How Judith uses talking therapies online

Judith draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and using their own experience as the starting point for change, which helps when someone needs to make sense of a big life shift. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises and skills to test new ways of responding, useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will discuss what matters to the client, what they hope to change, and which methods feel most acceptable. She will collaborate with the client to try approaches and adjust them based on what works for that person.

The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into busy lives. Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online appointments can make it easier to arrange shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and attend from a place with quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote therapy often use these arrangements to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside work, caring responsibilities or ongoing treatment.
