About Senia

Senia Wood is a Therapeutic Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with six years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, trauma and related issues. Sessions are aimed at people who feel overwhelmed or stuck and want practical, relational support.

Senia uses a human and relational way of working rather than a medical or diagnostic model. She listens and mirrors what matters to each person, helping them name feelings and patterns that get in the way. Sessions are collaborative and paced according to what the client can manage.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of relating, existential thinking, mindfulness and somatic work. She also uses Internal Family Systems-informed ideas to help people understand inner parts and achieve greater self-trust. This mix is intended to support people coping with developmental trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and major life upheaval.

Senia has lived and studied across different cultures and says that experience shapes her sensitivity to identity and belonging. She describes her work as respectful and attentive to difference, and she helps people reflect on how cultural moves affect relationships and sense of self.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided from the United Kingdom. New clients start with video meetings, and a stable internet connection is required. Before booking, confirm the current session options and any practical details you need to know.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Senia often draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and mindfulness in her online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current struggles; it can help people understand repeated conflicts and feelings of distance. Client-centred practice prioritises the person's experience, offering reflective listening and gentle pacing to help someone feel understood and able to speak openly. Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and bodily experience, which can reduce overwhelm and support clearer decision-making.

Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. Senia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That conversation may shift as the work progresses, with methods adapted to what proves most helpful.

Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions around family life and work, avoiding travel time, and keeping appointments from wherever you are in the UK. The profile notes that new clients are offered video sessions, so check current options before booking if you prefer a different format. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy, or for meeting face-to-face by video when building rapport feels important. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these approaches to make it easier to attend regular sessions while juggling daily responsibilities.
