About Trudy

Trudy Woods is a BACP counsellor who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She works with people facing depression, low self-esteem and life changes. Trudy also helps with relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career questions.

Her style is gentle and person-centred. She listens to each person's story and follows their lead when deciding how to work together. Sessions aim to make it easier to talk about painful things and to find practical ways forward.

Background and approach

Trudy trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds the BACP credential. She has five years of professional experience supporting people in different settings. That work has included voluntary and charity roles and independent practice across a range of issues.

She has completed additional training in life coaching, working with trauma, specialist counselling for abuse, depression, anger and anxiety, and stress management. These courses inform her day-to-day work and the techniques she brings into sessions. People come to her for help with long-term health worries, bereavement and cancer-related distress, gender dysphoria and social anxiety.

She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, attachment questions, feelings of emptiness, and postpartum depression. Trudy aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. She encourages small, manageable steps and stays alongside people as they work toward clearer goals and greater wellbeing.

Ways of working Trudy names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the next step in life.

Trudy also draws on trauma-aware practice to help people make sense of painful memories and reactions. This involves pacing conversations, keeping control in the client's hands, and building coping strategies for distressing moments. It can be helpful for those living with the effects of past abuse or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Trudy will explore your goals, questions and preferences together with you. She will suggest ways of working and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep progress going between meetings.
