Meet Trudi Jane Wyatt

I began providing counselling in 2009 after previous careers in fitness and market research management. I studied Counselling Psychology and trained in Southern California, returned to Toronto, opened a private counselling practice, and then relocated to Calgary in 2020.

Approach

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are my primary approaches, as well as others such as Positive Psychology. In general my approach to counselling is collaborative, respecting clients’ own wisdom and complimenting that with my areas of expertise. I work with clients to identify their goals and develop a path towards them.

Philosophy

At Pinetree Counselling & Psychotherapy, I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their inner selves and overcome personal challenges.

“Emotions – fear, anger, love – are as necessary for the organism’s survival as nerve impulses, immune cells, or hormonal activity..”
