Trudy Wrake - Founder

I'm Trudy Wrake — Founder of Coaching Transition and a psychotherapeutic coach with 30 years in mental health services alongside senior leadership.

I started on the frontline of mental health nursing. I've led teams, driven transformation in complex systems, and sat with people in their most human moments. That depth of experience — clinical, organisational and deeply human — is what I bring to every coaching relationship.

My work sits at the intersection of psychotherapeutic coaching, CBT-informed practice and leadership development. It's not about fixing. It's not about performing. It's about creating the conditions where real, lasting change becomes possible.

I work with senior leaders, entrepreneurs and high-achieving women who are ready to do the deeper work — in one-to-one coaching, group sessions, facilitated away days and immersive retreats.

WHY WAS IT FOUNDED

I founded Coaching Transition

Because I believe no one should have to navigate change alone.
Because the people who give the most to others — clinicians, leaders, entrepreneurs, carers — deserve a space that is entirely theirs.
Because real change doesn't come from another framework or action plan. It comes from feeling safe enough to try something different.
And because somewhere in the space between who you are and what the world asks of you — there is still you. And that is worth protecting.
