About Trudy
Trudy Pring is a BACP counsellor who brings 15 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on practical, one-to-one therapy that helps people untangle stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of past trauma. She offers a compassionate listening space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming.
Sessions are aimed at helping clients express emotions they find hard to show and regain a sense of control. Trudy emphasises simple, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.
How Trudy works
Her work covers relationship strain, intimacy difficulties, grief and issues around parenting and family dynamics. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, sleeping problems and career stress. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, infidelity and the impact of domestic violence or substance misuse.
Trudy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns and build coping skills. She frames counselling as a collaborative process, helping each person make decisions that reflect their values rather than outside pressures. Sessions can include coaching elements for practical life changes, and support for compassion fatigue and first responder related stress.
Her approach aims to boost confidence, reduce distress and create clearer choices for moving forward.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Trudy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding behaviour and building skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful ways of responding; this can reduce anxiety, improve mood and aid decision-making. Another approach focuses on processing past trauma and the ways it affects current relationships and reactions, helping people learn to recognise triggers and develop new coping strategies.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss goals and try an approach that fits your needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, so the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit ongoing support, brief reflections between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
