Background and approach

Conversations often include attention to the body and sensation alongside feelings and thoughts, reflecting a somatic perspective in the work. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has six years of experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, grief and addiction.

Her practice pays attention to trauma and to healing from early life wounds and overwhelming experiences. Senia draws on approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, existential reflection and mindfulness practices. These are blended in ways that suit the person in front of her, rather than following a fixed formula.

Senia has experience offering therapy online and by phone through ACTO-approved training in online work. She works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and pays attention to identity, belonging and the practical challenges of moving between cultures.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Senia blends Somatic Therapy with attachment-based and client-centred work to make online therapy feel practical and grounded. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how stress shows up in the body, which can help with trauma, anxiety and chronic tension. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current feelings and trust. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s pace to build clarity and self-understanding.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work unfolds. This helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial expression and build rapport, while phone or messaging can suit days when talk feels harder. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments, and to continue support when life changes make in-person meetings difficult.
