About Trudy
Trudy Woods helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, eating or sleeping problems, anger, and career worries. Trudy works with concerns linked to LGBT issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue and relationship or family difficulties.
She practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Trudy uses a person-centred style that keeps the client in charge of the pace and direction of therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, understanding lived experience and helping people find practical ways to manage emotions and daily challenges. She draws on life coaching and trauma work to tailor short and longer-term plans when needed. Her background includes five years of professional experience across voluntary, charity and personal settings.
That work covered chronic health concerns, bereavement, cancer-related issues, gender dysphoria, social anxiety, and confidence building. Trudy holds BACP, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions aim to create a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Trudy encourages direct discussion of difficult experiences and supports people as they test new ways of coping. Her approach suits those who want a compassionate, collaborative therapist to help them work through painful events and everyday pressures. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their routine.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred therapy and online support
Trudy uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means the client sets the pace and the topics for each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can suit anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes because it focuses on the person rather than labels.She also integrates life coaching ideas when helpful, including goal-setting and personal development planning. That can be useful for people wanting clearer direction on career decisions, life purpose or coping strategies after major change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Trudy will discuss options and test what fits best based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief, ongoing support. These formats make it possible to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or treatment commitments and keep a steady path of support.
