About Judi
Judi Lloyd is a counsellor with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are anxious, depressed, grieving, or dealing with relationship and intimacy problems. She also supports people facing addiction, ADHD, career stress and major life changes.
Judi blends Narrative ideas with practical therapies to help people tell the story of what they are going through. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, noticing what matters most, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Conversations are plain and direct, aimed at finding workable steps rather than jargon. Her background includes work across emotional trauma and long-term mood issues. She uses cognitive behavioural strategies to manage distressing thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action.
Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and closeness come up. People can expect a mix of talking, reflection and simple exercises to try between sessions. Judi explains approaches in everyday language and agrees goals together with each person.
She also offers life coaching elements when people want practical planning and accountability. Sessions are offered online by video, phone or messaging. Judi works with individuals and provides support to a wide range of concerns, helping people find clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more workable ways forward.

Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online therapy
Judi combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by exploring the stories they tell about their lives and relationships. This can make it easier to spot unhelpful patterns and open up different possibilities.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where getting stuck in avoidance is a problem. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and helps people practise new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and is decided together with the therapist. Judi will listen to your goals and preferences and adapt methods so they feel useful and realistic for you. This collaborative planning helps make sure therapy supports immediate needs and longer-term change.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging suits brief updates, reflective writing or scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
