Senia Wood , BACP

Senia Wood is a qualified therapeutic counsellor who brings a human and relational approach to her work. She creates a warm, trusting, and non-judgmental space where people are invited to explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Senia believes that being heard and understood supports emotional well-being and the capacity to move forward, and she tailors sessions to reflect each person’s unique needs and goals.

Her practice is integrative with a strong humanistic foundation, drawing especially on Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work to support deeper self-understanding, healing from emotional pain, and the development of inner harmony and self-trust. Over six years she has supported people with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, trauma and childhood abuse, addiction, grief, and significant life transitions. She offers trauma-informed care for those affected by developmental trauma, adverse childhood experiences, or overwhelming life events.

Senia is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She is also trained in delivering therapy online and by phone through ACTO-approved training (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online, UK). Having lived and studied across different cultures, she brings a sensitivity to issues of identity, difference, and belonging and understands the challenges of cultural transition.

For new clients Senia offers video sessions only and requests a stable internet connection to support early rapport and a stronger therapeutic connection. She works collaboratively and respectfully to help people feel more grounded, whole, and able to live with greater clarity and ease.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Senia draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and listening in a non-judgmental way so clients can explore their feelings and develop self-understanding - it is well suited to issues like low self-worth, decision-making, and navigating life changes. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current patterns in intimacy and trust; it helps people who struggle with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, or recurring connection problems.

Mindfulness practices are also integrated when helpful, offering simple ways to notice difficult thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity, which can ease stress and emotional overwhelm. Senia approaches treatment collaboratively - finding the right therapeutic mix is part of the process and she will work with each person to identify approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life and comfort level. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic support remotely, and online options make it easier to access care across distances and schedules.
