About Senia

Senia Wood is a therapeutic counsellor who helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and grief. She meets people coming through big life changes, addiction, trauma and issues around self-esteem and sleep. Senia works in a warm, non-judgemental way and focuses on building trust so clients can talk at their own pace.

Senia describes her work as human and relational rather than medical. She draws on a humanistic foundation and an integrative approach to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She uses Internal Family Systems-informed ideas to help people understand internal parts and build more self-trust.

Senia is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which informs her commitment to ethical practice. She has six years' experience and has supported people affected by developmental trauma, childhood abuse and overwhelming life events. She is attentive to identity and cultural difference, having lived and studied across different countries.

New clients are offered video sessions. Senia highlights that seeing one another on screen early in the work helps create connection and comfort. She asks clients to ensure a stable internet connection for sessions.

Her sessions aim to help people feel more grounded and clear about next steps. Work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness, with practical conversation about coping, relationships and moving forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Senia draws on attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working to shape online sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early experiences affect current bonds and trust. Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the heart of the session, so the therapist listens deeply and follows whatever feels most important in the moment.

She also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice bodily responses and calm stress. Mindfulness techniques involve simple attention exercises that reduce overwhelm, and somatic practices invite attention to physical sensations to support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Senia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Senia offers video sessions for new clients and emphasises that seeing one another helps build connection early on. If you are unsure about the practicalities, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims as in-person work.
