About Trudie Johnston

Trudie Johnston is a registered counsellor in the United Kingdom who works with adults aged 18 and over. She has six years of experience supporting people in both private practice and clinical settings, and her work was preceded by time volunteering in bereavement support - an experience that inspired her to train as a counsellor.

Over the years Trudie has worked with people facing a range of challenges, including bereavement, relationship difficulties, disability and health concerns, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Her initial training was in person-centred counselling, and she has since undertaken further training in attachment theory, cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic counselling. She draws on these different perspectives and adapts them to suit the needs of each individual client.

Trudie aims to build a warm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. As someone who has experienced counselling herself, she appreciates how difficult the first step can be and offers supportive guidance for people ready to begin. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional registration and adherence to recognised counselling standards, and she is accepting new clients in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Trudie integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet the needs of each client. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people address issues like abandonment, trust and relational difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work - the therapist offers empathy and acceptance while the client explores their feelings and values, which can be helpful for low self-esteem, grief and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to anxiety, stress and mood problems, offering practical tools to manage symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Trudie collaborates with clients to find the best fit based on their needs, goals and personal preferences, adapting methods as the work develops. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and responsive.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people juggling work, family or health challenges. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules and access support without the need for travel, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to thoughtful, tailored care.
