Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She focuses on creating a warm, respectful space where someone can talk through their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Sessions are offered with a person-centred and compassionate approach to help people feel heard and understood.

Senia draws on six years of clinical experience and is a BACP member, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work is human and relational rather than medical or diagnostic, and she treats each person as a whole rather than a set of symptoms. She aims to work in partnership and adapt sessions to suit each person’s needs and goals.

Her practice is trauma-informed and she supports people affected by developmental trauma, childhood abuse, addiction, grief, and large life transitions. She also helps with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and issues linked to chronic illness or caregiving stress. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, abandonment, body image, codependency, and coping with major life changes.

Senia’s approach blends client-centred ideas with mindfulness, somatic work, existential thinking and attachment-based perspectives. She aims to help people build more inner steadiness, better self-understanding, and stronger emotion regulation. Practical techniques are balanced with reflective conversation so people can apply skills between sessions.

Senia has experience working with people from varied cultural backgrounds and takes care to respect identity and difference. Sessions are conducted in English and carried out online, giving a way to connect even when life feels complicated.

Online approaches that support connection and change

Senia uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people feel seen and understood. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and make choices that fit their values.

She also uses mindfulness and somatic methods to bring attention to the body and present-moment experience. Mindfulness helps with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation by teaching simple attention skills. Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and can support people working through trauma, overwhelm or chronic tension.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working to find what helps most. This collaborative exploration can include practical exercises, reflective dialogue, and small behavioural steps agreed together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are great for face-to-face interaction and building rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
