About Aija

Aija Lace is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with clients who struggle with relationships, motivation and coping when things feel overwhelming. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the concerns she supports, alongside issues such as guilt, loneliness and mood difficulties.

Aija uses a client-centred way of working. That means she listens closely and follows what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are aimed at helping people name what they feel and find workable steps to feel steadier day to day.

Her background includes four years working with people in the United Kingdom. During that time she has focused on building trust and helping clients discover their own strengths. She holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential listed in her profile.

In sessions Aija keeps language simple and practical. Conversations move between exploring feelings, noticing patterns and trying small changes that fit real life. She emphasises kindness toward oneself and practical tools to manage distress.

If someone wants to start, she guides them through an initial questionnaire and scheduling. The early meetings focus on what matters most now and on setting realistic, short-term goals. Over time the work is shaped by the person’s pace and aims.

Client-centred work and online therapy

Aija practises client-centred therapy, which centres on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client say what matters. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns and building self-esteem because it follows the client’s pace and priorities.

The work focuses on creating a supportive space where the person can explore thoughts and feelings. The counsellor helps identify patterns and workable changes rather than imposing a fixed plan. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together, based on the person’s needs and goals.

Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing sessions to be scheduled more easily around work and family. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid commuting on difficult days and keep continuity when life is unpredictable. If you are considering online work, check the session formats offered before booking to confirm what is currently available. The therapist will help you choose an approach that suits your situation and practical needs.
