Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood is a therapeutic counsellor who aims to make the first step feel easier. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and major life changes such as midlife transition. Her approach is rooted in listening and partnership, so sessions focus on what matters to each person and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Senia works in a human and relational way rather than a medical model. She draws on Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas to help people feel seen and understood. She also uses elements of Existential thinking, Mindfulness and Somatic approaches to help people connect with how they feel in the body and make clearer choices.

Senia is a Registered Member of the BACP, which reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. She has six years of clinical experience supporting people with trauma, childhood abuse, addiction, relationship difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and complex life changes. Her practice is trauma-informed and attentive to developmental wounding and attachment patterns.

Having lived and studied across different cultures, she brings sensitivity to issues of identity, difference and belonging. Sessions aim to rebuild self-trust, reduce overwhelm and help people find greater clarity and meaning. Senia invites people to explore challenging feelings with kindness and practical focus on what helps them cope day to day.

For new clients she offers video sessions only and asks for a stable internet connection. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options when they start the booking process.

How Senia uses different approaches online

Senia draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how connection and safety influence feelings and behaviour, and it can be useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment or attachment wounds.

She also works from a Client-Centred perspective, offering a non-judgemental, listening-led environment. This means the counsellor follows the person's pace and priorities, helping them make sense of their experience and choose what to work on next.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Senia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you can decide which approaches to use and how to blend them. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and manageable.

If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session options when you book. The biography states that new clients begin with video sessions only, so please check current arrangements before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for a shorter check-in when needed. They can also support a steady therapeutic relationship by enabling regular meetings even when life is busy.
