Judith Ramsay

Judith Ramsay is a counsellor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and changes in life. She also helps with eating and food-related issues, relationships, grief and trauma. Judith uses straightforward conversation to get to what matters and looks for practical steps people can try between sessions. Judith trained at Sunderland University with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and holds BACP registration. She has eight years of experience working with adults and tailors her approach to each person. Judith listens for strengths and builds on them rather than telling people what to do. Her sessions draw on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Judith mixes talking, gentle challenge and goal-setting. Together she and the client pick simple strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily routines. Judith has worked with people who care for others, and with adult survivors of childhood abuse. She pays attention to how caring roles and past experiences affect current wellbeing. Practical coping strategies are a common focus. In the room she aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. Conversations are paced to suit the person and small, achievable goals are set. Progress is measured by what feels different in day-to-day life rather than labels or tests.

How Judith’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens with curiosity and helps people make sense of their feelings, which can help with issues like anxiety, self-esteem and relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Finding the right approach is something Judith treats as a collaboration. She will work with the client to choose which methods to try first, check how they feel about them, and adapt the plan as goals change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or phone-based conversations when bandwidth is limited. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. The focus is on making sessions workable for everyday schedules and on choosing tools that transfer into daily routines.
