Senia Wood , BACP

Senia Wood welcomes visitors with a calm, relational approach that centers each person as a whole individual rather than a set of symptoms. She recognises that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and she aims to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where people can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Her work emphasises being heard, accepted, and understood as a foundation for emotional wellbeing and forward movement.

Senia practises from a humanistic, relational orientation, bringing kindness, intuition, and respect into sessions while tailoring therapeutic work to each person’s needs and goals. She describes her role as collaborative - working gently alongside clients to help them build insight, self-trust, and practical ways to cope and grow. Her practice is integrative with a strong humanistic base and draws on Internal Family Systems-informed ideas to support deeper self-understanding and inner harmony.

She is a qualified therapeutic counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which reflects professional membership and a commitment to ethical practice. She is also trained in delivering therapy online and by phone through ACTO-approved training (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online, UK). Over six years of practice, Senia has supported people through anxiety, low mood, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, trauma and childhood abuse, addiction, grief, and major life changes, with a particular emphasis on trauma-informed care for developmental and overwhelming life events.

Having lived and studied across different cultures, Senia brings sensitivity to identity, difference, and belonging, and she works with people from diverse backgrounds. She aims to help clients feel more grounded, whole, and able to live with greater clarity and meaning. For new clients she offers video sessions as the primary way to begin work, as she finds face-to-face connection, even virtually, helps establish trust early in the therapeutic relationship and supports the process from the outset. A stable internet connection is required for those sessions.
