Trudy’s style is based on Client-Centred Therapy. She listens first and follows what each person brings to the room. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace, with the counsellor offering reflection, space to talk and practical ways to move forward.

Her background includes work in volunteer and charity settings and in private practice.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

The main approach Trudy uses is Client-Centred Therapy. This involves listening closely, reflecting what a person says and supporting them to find their own solutions. It is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement and coping with life changes such as divorce and separation.

Many people find this approach calming because the counsellor follows the client’s pace and priorities. Trudy aims to make decisions about focus and next steps together, so the approach can be adapted as the work progresses and as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking. The counsellor will discuss how to make sessions work around work, caregiving or medical appointments and what style of contact best supports each person.
