About Aija
Aija Lace helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, stuck in relationships, or struggling with self-esteem. She supports people facing panic, mood shifts, loneliness, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at building strength and clearer direction.
Aija uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping the person find their own solutions. She offers coaching-style work when people want short-term practical goals alongside deeper emotional work.
How Aija works
Her background includes four years of practice in the United Kingdom. Aija holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That membership means she follows recognised professional standards.
In the room she creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about things like abandonment, attachment struggles, commitment worries, or control issues. She also helps with family problems, feelings of guilt and shame, and questions about sexuality or life purpose. Sessions are conversational and straightforward.
People can expect gentle challenge when it helps, and practical steps to try between sessions. The aim is to leave each meeting with clearer thinking and small, achievable actions.

Online support options
Client-centred care and online access
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert on their own life. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can explore feelings, build self-understanding and decide on next steps. This approach is well suited to anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship worries and life changes.In practice, the counsellor blends supportive listening with coaching when useful. That means sessions can include goal-setting, practical actions to try between meetings, and space to process emotions. Deciding which emphasis to use is a collaborative process based on needs, goals and personal preference.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging may suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping care consistent and accessible.
