About Me
Get to know Jud Hindess
Your Counsellor
Hello, I'm Jud
I first entered the world of counselling after experiencing therapy myself in my early twenties. That experience helped me understand more about who I was, make sense of some of the challenges I had faced, and create space for new experiences and personal growth.
I am a qualified integrative humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the North East of England. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and centred around you. I aim to help you feel safe enough to explore what is happening beneath the surface and to find a way forward that feels realistic, meaningful, and true to you.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including humanistic counselling, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), coaching, and motivational interviewing. This allows our sessions to be shaped around your individual needs, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
My personality is warm, welcoming, and grounded in compassion. I understand that people come to counselling with different life experiences, pressures, and challenges. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported at your own pace.
If you feel ready to take the next step, or would simply like to ask a question, please feel welcome to contact me.

My Approach
How I Work
I draw from several therapeutic traditions to create an approach that is uniquely tailored to you. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy, and that's a good thing.
Humanistic Therapy: Focusing on your innate capacity for growth and self-awareness.
NLP Techniques: Practical tools for changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.
Motivational Interviewing: Exploring your motivations and building momentum for change.
Coaching Skills: Goal-setting and action planning to help you move forward.
