Aija Lace, BACP

Aija Lace is a UK-based therapist with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation struggles, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own story and that the resources for change already exist within them. Her role is to provide compassionate guidance and a supportive space where clients can explore feelings, clarify values, and build practical strategies to move forward.

Known for an empathetic, non-judgmental style, she helps clients identify strengths, confront obstacles, and develop confidence to make meaningful changes. Aija works collaboratively to uncover personal goals and to foster resilience, using approaches that centre the client’s perspective and priorities. She aims to empower people to discover their own solutions and to increase wellbeing over time.

Aija holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. She recognises the courage it takes to seek support and aims to make the therapeutic process accessible and practical for those ready to take the next step.

Client-Centered Care and Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people who are working through relationship concerns, low self-esteem, stress, or transitions by encouraging self-exploration and helping individuals access their own strengths and solutions.

Alongside a client-centered stance, Aija incorporates coaching-oriented support to help clients set goals, build motivation, and translate insights into practical steps. This blend can suit those seeking both emotional understanding and forward-moving strategies for change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Aija will collaborate with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the style of sessions over time in response to what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate, and enable people across the UK to connect with registered professionals without travelling to an office.
