Senia Wood, BACP

Senia Wood welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable by offering a calm, warm space where clients can be heard. Senia speaks plainly and works at a pace that suits each person’s needs.

Senia practises from a humanistic, relational perspective. She emphasises being heard and accepted rather than focusing on diagnoses. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual, with a focus on building trust and understanding. She uses an integrative style that draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different concerns.

She is a Registered Member of the BACP, which reflects her professional commitment to ethical practice. Senia has six years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Her work pays particular attention to trauma-informed care and responses to developmental or overwhelming events.

Senia also notices how cultural background and life experience shape the issues people bring. She offers a listening ear to those navigating identity, belonging, and cultural transitions. Her sessions aim to help people feel more grounded and better able to move forward.

For new clients she offers video sessions only, which she finds helpful for building connection early in therapy. A stable internet connection is required for these appointments.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Senia draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how important relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach looks at patterns in close relationships and can help with issues such as trust, attachment wounds, and intimacy-related concerns.

She also uses client-centred work, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Senia works collaboratively to decide which methods suit someone’s needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options and checks in regularly so the work feels relevant and practical.

For new clients she offers video sessions only, so meetings use a face-to-face online format that supports visual connection and relational work. If you want a different option, confirm current session choices before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed. Many people find video sessions help build rapport quickly while fitting therapy into a busy life.
