About Senia
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), 6 years' experience. Senia Wood works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Senia uses a human, relational counselling style. She emphasises being heard and understood and works in partnership with clients. Sessions focus on talking through emotional experiences, building self-understanding and developing practical ways to cope day to day.
Her approach is integrative with a humanistic base. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred listening, plus Existential perspectives and Mindfulness and Somatic practices. This combination is used to address trauma, developmental wounds and ongoing stressors.
Senia has six years' experience in counselling and is a Registered Member of the BACP. Her work includes trauma-informed care for those affected by adverse childhood experiences and other overwhelming events.
She has lived and studied across different cultures and describes sensitivity to issues of identity, difference and belonging. That background informs her work with people who find it hard to connect or who are navigating cultural change.
Senia offers video sessions for new clients and prefers meeting face to face virtually at the start. A stable internet connection is required. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking and follow the site booking steps to arrange a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Senia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and connection. This work can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment by focusing on emotional needs and relational patterns.She also practises Client-Centred Therapy which centres on listening and reflecting what a person says. That approach supports clearer self-understanding and is useful for anxiety, low mood and issues with self-esteem.
Mindfulness and Somatic practices are used to bring attention to bodily sensations and present-moment awareness. These tools can help with trauma responses, stress regulation and coping with overwhelming emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.
Senia offers video sessions and prefers meeting face to face virtually at the start, so check the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to reach people who cannot attend in person.
