About Trudy
Trudy Woods is a counsellor who offers person-centred support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. She listens to each person’s lived experience and tailors sessions around what matters most to them. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to help people feel understood and more able to cope.
Trudy draws on five years of professional experience working in both volunteer and charity settings and in independent practice.
Background and approach
That background includes supporting people with chronic health problems, bereavement and cancer-related concerns. She also has experience helping people with low self-esteem, confidence and social anxiety. Her work emphasises collaboration.
Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and on building practical steps that fit everyday life. Trudy uses coaching elements such as personal development planning to help people set and reach goals when wanted. Additional study has informed her practice, including courses on working with trauma, specialist counselling for abuse, depression, anger and anxiety, and stress management.
These experiences shape how she supports people who bring complex, overlapping issues. Trudy practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. She is registered with BACP, which appears after her name as BACP.
Her online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs and schedules.

Approaches Trudy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Trudy also brings coaching elements into sessions, such as personal development planning and practical steps for everyday life. That practical focus can help people break down larger problems into smaller, doable actions. Deciding which blend of listening work and practical planning is best happens together - the therapist and client choose what feels right for the person’s goals and preferences.
Online delivery uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when flexibility across the day is needed. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health constraints while keeping the focus on the individual’s needs.
