Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain or major life changes. She works with clients who are coping with chronic illness, addiction, mood shifts and trauma, and those looking to rebuild self-esteem and emotional balance. Senia welcomes people who want a steady, relational approach to their difficulties.

Senia creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Sessions focus on being heard, understood and accepted rather than on labels. She describes her work as human and relational, and she aims to build trust through kindness and respect.

Her practice draws on a mix of approaches with a humanistic base. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect present relationships, and Client-Centred ways of working that keep the person and their priorities central. She also weaves in Mindfulness and Somatic ideas to help people notice bodily signals and manage overwhelming emotions.

Senia is a Registered Member of the BACP, which reflects her commitment to practising ethically. She has six years of experience supporting people through trauma, developmental wounds, bereavement, addiction and long-term health challenges. She has worked with people from varied cultural backgrounds and pays attention to identity and belonging in sessions.

For new clients Senia offers video sessions as her preferred way to begin work, and she asks for a stable internet connection. If you want to explore whether she might be the right fit, the initial steps are straightforward and collaborative.

How her approaches translate to online work

Senia uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape present patterns and relational reactions; this can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment fears and trust issues. Client-Centred practice keeps the person and their priorities at the heart of each session, making space for whatever matters most right now. Mindfulness and Somatic elements invite simple body awareness and breathing techniques to manage stress, overwhelm and physical symptoms linked to anxiety and chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Senia will discuss different ways of working and decide together what seems most helpful for the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography indicates she offers video sessions, particularly for new clients, and asks for a stable internet connection. If you are considering online therapy, check the current session formats before booking to confirm what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing sessions from different locations, or enabling shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access consistent support while managing health challenges or caregiving responsibilities.
