About Judith
Judith Hearne supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and depression.

She works in English and accepts international clients. Judith aims to make sessions feel simple and straightforward. She offers a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment.
Background and approach
Her work combines structured techniques and warm, person-focused listening. She encourages small, practical steps toward change. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based ideas.
These methods help people spot unhelpful thinking, commit to valued actions, and understand how early relationships affect current patterns. Judith also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and client-centred counselling when helpful. She is comfortable discussing spiritual or faith concerns and can incorporate a client's religious beliefs into sessions when requested.
Judith describes herself as spiritual and can work with references from Christian traditions for those who prefer that context. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Judith works with each person to pick formats and goals that fit their life.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that suits the client. Judith holds BACP registration, which is noted as a professional credential. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and seeks to empower people to make lasting change.

How specific approaches work online
Judith often uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and some eating concerns because it breaks problems into small, manageable parts.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on what matters most and on taking committed action even when difficult thoughts appear. ACT can help with anxiety, chronic stress and addictions by shifting focus towards values and practical steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Judith will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls suit in-depth work and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while keeping continuity of care.
