Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage overwhelming feelings and life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace. Her style aims to help people feel listened to and understood so they can take the next step forward.

Her work is human and relational rather than medical or diagnostic. She draws on a humanistic, integrative approach and uses Internal Family Systems-informed ideas to help people understand inner parts and find more self-trust. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Senia places emphasis on trauma-informed care and has spent six years supporting people through anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief and childhood abuse. She has a particular interest in developmental trauma and adverse childhood experiences and helps people process emotional pain and build coping skills.

Having lived and studied across cultures, she is sensitive to identity, difference and belonging and aims to help clients navigate cultural transitions and find a sense of place. Senia is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical standards.

She offers video sessions for new clients and asks for a stable internet connection to support face-to-face online work. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How Senia adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Senia uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. This can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns. She also works from a Client-Centred perspective that prioritises listening and the client’s experience, helping people feel seen and supported while they make changes. Additionally she draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and feelings with less judgment, which can reduce reactivity and aid sleep or anxiety concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Senia will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and will adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. The work is collaborative - the client’s preferences and pace guide decisions about which tools to use.

Senia offers video sessions and asks new clients to join by video to build the early therapeutic connection, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow a quieter moment without needing to leave home or work. It can also make shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling simpler, while still focusing on the same therapeutic tasks as in-person sessions.
