About Trudie

Trudie Johnston is a counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with six years' experience working with adults. She began supporting people as a bereavement volunteer and went on to train as a counsellor, carrying that background into her practice. Trudie works with everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem as well as major life events like grief and bereavement.

She uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method.

Background and approach

Her training includes client-centred foundations and later study in attachment, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking, mindfulness and somatic work. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and how they prefer to work. In sessions she focuses on listening and understanding what underlies a difficulty.

People can talk about relationships, family issues, intimacy concerns, anger or career stress. Trudie also supports those facing long-term illness, caregiving strain, end-of-life matters and body image worries. Practical coping skills are offered alongside space to make sense of painful feelings.

She might introduce grounding or mindful exercises, look at thought patterns, or help people notice how emotions show in the body. The goal is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day demands. Trudie works with adults aged 18 and over.

Her registration details include BACP and NCPS. Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text, and are arranged around each person’s needs and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions use this lens to look at relationship triggers, trust issues and ways to build more supported relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s pace, helping them clarify feelings and decisions during regular conversations.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical alternatives. In online sessions this can include short exercises, thought records and simple behavioural experiments to use between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the person based on their goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins and text messaging works for shorter, regular contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on the work itself.
