About Judi

Judi Lloyd works on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and a wide range of life challenges using a mix of psychotherapy and life coaching techniques. She is registered with NCPS and has 15 years' experience.

She uses practical talking therapy to help people manage difficult feelings and everyday problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make a difference. She draws on cognitive and behavioural strategies to change unhelpful patterns and on acceptance-based approaches to reduce struggling with painful thoughts.

Judi also pays attention to attachment and relational patterns. That can help when relationship or intimacy issues come up, or when past experiences affect current trust and closeness. Work may include looking at communication, boundaries and how past losses shape present behaviour.

Life coaching aims in her practice include clearer goals and steps to reach them. Coaching techniques are used alongside therapy when people want practical plans for career, relationships or lifestyle changes.

She has experience supporting people with addiction, ADHD, bereavement, body image and chronic illness as well as less commonly discussed areas such as adoption, foster care and kink culture. Sessions are conducted in English and include consideration of cultural and identity matters where relevant.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then take steps that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree on methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed and remove travel time. It also means techniques such as CBT exercises, value-based planning from ACT and attachment-focused conversations can be continued between sessions to support practical change.
