About Trudie

Trudie Johnston is a UK-registered counsellor who works with adults aged 18 and over. With six years of experience in both private practice and clinical settings, she brings a compassionate, steady approach to people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life changes including health challenges and caregiving concerns.

Her path into counselling began as a bereavement support volunteer, an experience that inspired her to train as a counsellor. Since qualifying she has worked with clients facing bereavement, relational problems, disability, chronic illness and a variety of emotional and practical challenges. Trudie’s background includes initial training in person-centred counselling, followed by further study in attachment theory, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic approaches, allowing her to draw on different models and tailor therapy to what each person brings.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. Having experienced counselling herself, Trudie recognises how difficult the first step can be and offers gentle encouragement to those ready to seek support. She is registered with recognised UK counselling bodies, holding BACP and NCPS credentials that reflect adherence to professional standards, and she welcomes adults seeking practical support and emotional insight.

Approaches and Online Support with Trudie Johnston

Trudie routinely draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centred therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people through emotional and relational challenges. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships influence present patterns and can be helpful for those who experience abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties in close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own insights guide change and is useful for building self-esteem and coping with life transitions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Trudie works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions by combining elements of different approaches so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Trudie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access regular support without travel, helping people engage with therapy from wherever they are while maintaining continuity of care with a registered professional.
