About Aija
Counsellor Aija Lace is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching for motivation and direction.
Aija works in a client-centred way. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Sessions concentrate on what matters now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
She often helps with attachment and abandonment worries, and with patterns such as dependent or avoidant behaviour. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and confusion about sexuality. Panic and mood problems are part of her caseload too.
In conversation she listens for the dynamics that keep a problem going. Then she and the client test small changes and ways of thinking that might ease things. The tone is straightforward and focused on clear next steps rather than jargon.
Aija sees counselling as a practical collaboration. She encourages people to notice what helps and to build on manageable changes. Getting started usually begins with a short matching form and a first session to agree goals.
Client-centred approach and online counselling
Aija practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and helping clients find their own solutions. Sessions are built around the client's experience and aim to help them name what matters and try small changes that feel workable.This counsellor frames therapy as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which ways of working fit best. That approach means the method can shift as goals and needs change.
The exact session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to make counselling easier to slot into everyday life, while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
