About Aija
Aija Lace is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her focus includes issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.
Aija works from a client-centred perspective. She treats the person, not just the problem, and listens first to understand what matters to the individual. Sessions are set up so the client leads the pace and direction of the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what comes up.
In practical terms she supports people who feel stuck after major life shifts - leaving home, starting a new job or finishing study. She helps people talk through fear of commitment, control issues, feelings of isolation and shame, and the practical steps needed to build self-respect and motivation. Work can include looking at patterns in relationships and at how past experiences of attachment affect current choices.
Her style is steady and straightforward. Clients should expect direct listening, questions that help make things clearer, and manageable steps to try between sessions. Aija also works with people on coaching-style goals when change needs planning and structure.
She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and subscription details using the platform's matching tools.
How her client-centred approach translates online
Aija works from a client-centred model that foregrounds the client's experience. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the topics the client brings up. It is often useful for feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship patterns and coping with life transitions.Client-centred work online keeps the same core idea: the person leads and the counsellor helps make sense of what emerges. In practice this can mean talking through current problems, naming recurring patterns, and then deciding on small, practical steps to try between sessions. That collaborative decision-making helps match sessions to the client's goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aija will discuss how the client-centred method fits the person’s needs and adjust focus over time. This conversation about fit is collaborative and based on the client's goals, whether they want short-term coaching-style planning or longer reflective work.
