About Trudy
Trudy Woods helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those facing life changes, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and challenges like sleeping or eating problems. Trudy also works with people affected by compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues around career or money.
She practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Trudy uses a person-centred way of working that starts with careful listening.
How Trudy works
She aims to follow each person’s pace and priorities rather than imposing a set plan. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on building the client’s own strengths and choices. Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Trudy has added targeted training in life coaching, working with trauma, specialist counselling for abuse, depression, anger and anxiety, and stress management. She has experience in voluntary and charity settings and in independent practice. In practice she offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings.
Trudy encourages practical steps alongside emotional exploration, such as planning small changes or learning strategies to cope better day to day. The work is collaborative and rooted in respect for each person’s story. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their needs.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and may be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support options
Client-centred care online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathic understanding and reflection, helping people to clarify their feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, grief and interpersonal concerns where being heard matters most.In sessions the emphasis is on collaboration. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and decide which ways of working suit them best. Finding the right fit is part of the process and the therapist will adjust methods to match individual needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, health or caring responsibilities and help people keep continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
