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, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she practises from the United Kingdom.

Senia uses a human and relational style rather than a medical model. She focuses on listening and helping people understand their feelings and patterns. Her work draws on attachment ideas and somatic awareness to help people feel steadier in themselves.

Her approach is collaborative and client-centred. She helps people notice inner parts and how they relate to one another, using ideas from Internal Family Systems alongside mindfulness and body-based techniques. This can be useful for people who carry early hurt, experience overwhelm, or struggle with repeated relationship patterns.

Senia has particular experience supporting those affected by developmental trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and significant life changes. She also notes additional focus on blended family issues, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress and chronic illness related difficulties. Practical day-to-day coping skills are integrated with longer-term exploration of meaning and values.

She offers video sessions for new clients and prefers meeting face-to-face on screen to establish connection early on. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Senia draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people spot repeating dynamics and how they affect closeness and trust in relationships.

She also uses a client-centred approach that focuses on attentive listening and collaboration. This means sessions often involve reflecting on what matters most to the person and working at a comfortable pace.

Mindfulness and somatic elements are sometimes included to help people notice how thoughts and feelings show up in the body. These techniques can be useful for managing anxiety, grounding after overwhelm, and building awareness of emotional triggers.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help the client and counsellor decide together what fits best, based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as the work unfolds.

Senia conducts video sessions and prefers meeting face-to-face on screen for early appointments to build connection. If you are unsure about session options, confirm the available formats before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can reach therapy alongside work and family commitments.
