Trudie Johnston is a registered counsellor in the United Kingdom who works with individuals aged 18 and over. She has practised as a qualified and registered counsellor for six years in both private practice and clinical settings, and before training she volunteered in bereavement support - an experience that prompted her to become a counsellor.
Throughout her work she has supported people dealing with bereavement, relational problems, disability, health concerns, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She believes no concern is too large or too small to bring to counselling and adapts her approach to suit what each person brings.
Her initial training was in person-centred counselling, and she has since undertaken further training in Attachment, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic counselling, allowing her to draw on different approaches as appropriate. She aims to offer an open, safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, working with clients in a confidential environment.
Having experienced counselling herself, Trudie understands how difficult that first step of reaching out can be. When someone is ready to begin, she is available to support them and looks forward to working together.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Evidence suggests that for these typical issues, remote sessions achieve comparable outcomes to face-to-face work.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to engage in the way that feels most comfortable.
Therapists providing online sessions are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed it is possible to change therapists at any time. Online therapy offers an accessible route to support for many people seeking help with everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
