Trudie Johnston is a counsellor registered in the UK who works with adults.
About Trudie
Trudie Johnston is a counsellor registered in the UK who works with adults. She has six years of experience in both independent practice and clinical settings. Her early volunteering with bereavement support inspired her to train as a counsellor and shaped her interest in loss and life transitions.
Trudie uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centred methods to listen and build understanding. She also uses attachment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and somatic awareness when these suit the concern.
Background and approach
People come to her with varied issues such as grief, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship strain, anger, career concerns and practical coping during illness or caregiving. Depression and problems linked to loss or attachment are part of her focus.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak frankly about what matters to them. Trudie emphasises collaboration and adapts her style depending on what a person brings and what feels most useful. Her background includes bereavement volunteering before qualifying, and six years of working directly with clients.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers help to adults who want to talk through difficult feelings and life changes.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trudie explores a person's goals, preferences and concerns and then suggests methods to try. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts what she offers as the therapy progresses.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counselling around work and family life. Video is useful for fuller conversation, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to access support from home or while travelling.
