About Trudie
Trudie Johnston is a UK-registered counsellor with six years of practice experience. She works with adults aged 18 and over and draws on earlier volunteer work in bereavement support that inspired her career in counselling. Trudie uses her own experience of having been in counselling to shape a warm and encouraging approach to first sessions.
She helps people faced with grief, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, career changes and depression. Additional focuses include chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and end-of-life concerns.
Trudie trained initially in person-centred counselling and now combines a range of approaches. Her listed methods include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy and Somatic Therapy. She adapts these to match what each person brings to the room.
In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about. She works collaboratively to explore practical ways forward and to make sense of difficult experiences. The emphasis is on what helps the individual feel more able to cope.
Trudie practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. If someone is ready to begin, they are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How Trudie's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people explore trust, closeness and emotional responses in relationships, and can be useful for issues around attachment and abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session, with the counsellor offering acceptance and attentive listening so clients can find their own pace and direction.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Trudie will work with each person to decide which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed prescription, and it can change as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy day, as it can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a break. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes so therapy stays practical and usable alongside work and family commitments.
