Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood offers a compassionate, relational approach to therapy that places the person rather than a diagnosis at the centre of the work. She aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace, and she works collaboratively to tailor the process to each individual's needs and goals.

Senia is a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ethical practice. She is also trained in delivering therapy online and by phone through ACTO-approved training, and her practice draws on a humanistic, integrative foundation with particular influence from Internal Family Systems-informed ideas to support deeper self-understanding and inner harmony.

Over six years of practice, Senia has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and childhood abuse, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Her work is trauma-informed and sensitive to developmental trauma and adverse childhood experiences. Having lived and studied across different cultures, she brings an appreciation for diverse backgrounds and the challenges of identity, belonging, and cultural transition.

Senia aims to help clients feel more grounded and empowered, working with kindness, intuition, and respect. For new clients she prefers video sessions to help establish connection early on, and a stable internet connection is recommended to support this way of meeting.

Attachment, humanistic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears, or recurring relationship difficulties to understand emotional responses and build more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client leads the pace and topics of the work. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional processing, and greater self-acceptance, and it can be helpful for issues like low self-worth, life transitions, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and grounding practices that make it easier to relate to difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. These techniques can be useful for anxiety, emotional regulation, and coping with flashbacks or intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Senia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work over time to reflect what is most effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it possible to access consistent support from licensed professionals even when travel, work, or life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult.
