About me
Reaching out for therapy can feel scary, but whatever you are carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.
I’m Jude Lee, an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, based in Golders Green.
Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s often hard to hear anything over the noise of expectation and a harsh inner critic. In our sessions, that volume turns down. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand the 'why' behind your struggle. It’s a space where you don’t have to have all the answers or even like where you are right now. We simply start with a willingness to find some breathing space and a more solid foundation to stand on.
Finding the right therapist is important. To help you decide, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation where you can ask questions and get a sense of how I work

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

My approach
Because every person is different, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. As an integrative therapist, I draw on different ways of working, including looking at your past (psychodynamic) and focusing on your present (person-centred) to find what actually resonates with you.
Sometimes, this means looking at how your earlier experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and your relationships today. We don’t just look at the symptoms; we look at the roots.
I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together. Change doesn’t just come from 'talking about' problems; it comes from feeling truly heard and accepted by another person. My aim is to offer a calm, grounded space where you can be exactly as you are, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
