About me
Hello, my name is Judith. I am an experienced UKCP accredited Psychotherapist and offer counselling and psychotherapy in Old Town, Swindon.
I am sorry you are struggling with something you are finding difficult or overwhelming. Maybe it has been around for a long time or is a new and unfamiliar experience. Either way, I am pleased you are seeking ways to resolve it and would like the opportunity to help.
As a therapist I support individuals or couples to move from a place of distress towards relief, resilience and a more satisfying and fulfilled life. I will meet with you confidentially on a regular basis in a gentle, safe, robust and non-judgemental way. We will explore what changes you desire and seek ways to facilitate them that feel right for you.
I have undertaken extensive training as a psychotherapist and counsellor (see below for details) and have experience working with individuals, couples and groups in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings. I am committed to my ongoing learning and continued professional development. Some of the issues I can help with are anxiety, including general anxiety disorder; feeling overwhelmed, including panic attacks; depression or sadness with little or no motivation; trauma or flashbacks, including PTSD; relationship conflict or breakdown, at home, work or socially; bereavement; loss of status or job or physical capacity; repetitive or compulsive actions, including OCD; intrusive or incessant negative thoughts; low-self worth or self-esteem.
I believe that the way each of us struggles or has difficulties is unique to us (like our fingerprints) and I believe that our capacity to feel safe, happy and loved is universally the same (like our beating hearts). Sometimes though, we need another person to help us find the way through from one place to the other.
Please call 07955 527 539 for a no obligation conversation regarding any questions you may have about my profile, counselling or psychotherapy in general, or to make an initial appointment.

Radix Training (a body based approach educating participants in the movement of energy & emotion through the body with an emphasis on safety and surrender)
I am a registered member of both the UKCP and BACP and maintain a personal programme of continued professional development on an ongoing basis. Currently I am studying various aspects of body based psychotherapeutic work with an emphasis on trauma resolution and mindfulness.
I have worked long-term and short-term with clients in various settings including alongside psychiatrists in a secondary care NHS unit; within low-cost counselling services in London; an assessment role within a busy training establishment; as well as within my private practice. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and groups mostly face-to-face counselling although this may incorporate telephone or Skype sessions when required.
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.
