About Senia
Counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP, Senia Wood has six years' experience offering support for stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions and trauma. She works with people dealing with intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and career worries. She also supports people managing bipolar, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Senia describes her work as human and relational rather than medical or diagnostic. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas to make space for feelings and for clearer understanding of relationship patterns.
Her approach is integrative with an emphasis on Internal Family Systems-informed ideas. That means looking at different parts of a person’s experience, how they relate to each other, and how that affects mood and behaviour. She also uses mindfulness and somatic elements to help people notice bodily responses and develop practical ways to manage overwhelm.
Senia is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and she has training in delivering therapy online and by phone through ACTO-approved training. Her practice is trauma-informed and aims to support people affected by developmental trauma, childhood abuse and other overwhelming events.
She has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and says this informs her sensitivity to identity and belonging. For new contacts she offers video sessions as a first meeting, as she finds this helps build a therapeutic connection early on.

How her therapeutic approaches work online
Senia combines attachment-based and client-centred approaches with mindfulness and somatic elements. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s own priorities and understanding, helping them find clearer ways to move forward.Mindfulness and somatic elements help people attend to bodily signals and immediate emotional responses. These methods can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and for learning to respond rather than react. They are practical ways to manage overwhelm and build steadying habits between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Senia will discuss goals, preferences and needs with each person and agree which methods to use together. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.
The biography states that new clients are offered video sessions and that Senia has ACTO-approved training for online and phone work. Please confirm current session options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
