About Trudy
Trudy Woods is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She supports people concerned about depression, relationship strain, trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, and money and financial issues. She offers a calm, person-centred way of working and encourages clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions.
Trudy trained as a BACP counsellor - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has five years of professional experience. She has worked in charity and volunteer settings and in private practice, supporting people dealing with chronic health conditions, bereavement and cancer-related issues. Her background also includes work around gender dysphoria, social anxiety and caregiver stress.
Her practice emphasises listening first. Sessions are shaped around each person’s lived experience. She uses person-centred skills to help clients talk through painful feelings, make sense of difficult situations and consider practical next steps.
Trudy has completed additional training in life coaching, trauma work, specialist counselling for abuse, depression, anger and anxiety, and stress management. These inputs inform how she tailors sessions, though the core approach remains client-centred.
People seeking help are guided to a welcoming, non-judgemental space where they can explore emotions at their own speed. Trudy aims to support decision-making, build resilience and help clients find clearer ways to cope with day-to-day pressures and longer-term challenges.
How person-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s priorities. This approach can help with issues such as anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem and life changes by focusing on understanding and personal goals.Trudy combines that client-centred base with elements from life coaching and trauma-informed practice she has studied. Life coaching supports practical planning and small steps towards goals, while trauma-focused learning helps when people need careful pacing and grounding during hard conversations. These ways of working are chosen together with the client based on need.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and goals guide choices.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and avoiding travel time. Different session arrangements suit different people, so confirm current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to keep therapy within everyday life.
