She is trained to work in several therapeutic approaches, with the person-centred model at the core. This means Jude creates a safe, confidential space where you can bring whatever is causing you concern. She is an empathic, compassionate therapist who will listen without judgement. She also specialises in working with couples, particularly where one or both partners are neurodivergent.
“I draw upon a range of therapeutic models and techniques, which I am trained and experienced in, in order to meet your needs. Any technique we use will be done so with your best interests at heart, meaning your well-being is the most important thing to any work we do. Any approach I adopt will be implemented in a compassionate, empathic way. Alongside traditional talking therapy, I also find creative techniques helpful and enjoyable for many clients.”

I am a qualified social worker and worked as a palliative care social worker in a hospice. I realised that it was the therapeutic side of the work which gave me the most job satisfaction. I took a long time out of professional work life to raise my daughter, who has additional needs. When I was ready to commit to going back to work, I made the decision to retrain as a counsellor.
