Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood welcomes people who are taking the brave step of seeking support and offers a compassionate, person-focused approach to therapy. She creates a warm, trusting, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace, and she emphasises the value of being heard, accepted, and understood as a foundation for emotional recovery and change.

Senia works from a human and relational standpoint rather than a medical or diagnostic model, bringing kindness, intuition, and respect to each session. She treats each person as a whole rather than a list of symptoms and tailors the work collaboratively to reflect individual needs and goals. Her practice is integrative with a strong humanistic base and draws on Internal Family Systems-informed ideas to support deeper self-understanding, healing from emotional pain, and the cultivation of inner harmony and self-trust.

Senia is a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She is trained in delivering online and phone therapy through ACTO-approved training, and she has six years of professional experience supporting people facing anxiety, low mood, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, trauma and childhood abuse, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She offers trauma-informed care for those affected by developmental trauma and overwhelming life events.

Having lived and studied across different cultures, Senia brings sensitivity to issues of identity, difference, and belonging and understands the complexities of navigating multiple cultural contexts. She offers video sessions especially for new clients and asks for a stable internet connection to help create a comfortable, face-to-face virtual experience early in the therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online connection

Senia integrates several complementary therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop early in life and explores how those attachment styles affect current relationships and emotional responses - it can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or chronic relational stress.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering a non-judgmental, empathetic presence to help individuals discover their own resources and direction. This approach supports self-esteem, decision-making, and emotional clarity by prioritising the client’s experience and pace.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for regulating emotions and reducing reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Senia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as understanding deepens and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access care from home. These options increase flexibility and can help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or mobility considerations.
