Trudy is kind and very patient, and she is able to support me in a way that I didn't realise I needed. Trudy has been such a tremendous help in my personal development and I'm very grateful to have met her

Incredibly kind and caring. So reassuring and no pressure or stress. I look forward to each session as I know I’m going to come out of it feeling like a weight has been lifted

Trudy has been an excellent match for my situation. She's been incredibly careful and patient to help me see the full picture with problems I didn't completely understand. Most importantly, she became exactly what I needed which was a listener.
