Judith Power, BACP, NCPS

Judith draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach uses structured ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching step-by-step coping skills. Another approach emphasises talking through painful experiences at a steady pace while building safety and self-care skills; this can help people who carry trauma, grief or strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Judith will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they agree on a plan and adjust it over time so therapy stays useful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation and allow visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who favour written reflection or need quick, ongoing updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
