Aija Lace
Calm, practical counselling for anxiety and life change
About Aija
Aija Lace helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, low self-esteem and big life changes. She also supports people working on motivation, self-love and practical coping skills. Aija uses a coaching mindset alongside counselling to help people find clearer direction and stronger day-to-day routines.
Aija works from the idea that each person knows their own story best. She aims to offer a warm, compassionate space where someone can say what feels hard and be listened to without judgement.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change or understand. Sessions are collaborative. Aija asks questions, reflects what she hears and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way.
Together they test small changes and practical strategies that can be used between sessions. The work blends gentle listening with goal-focused steps. Over four years of practice in the United Kingdom, Aija has worked with people dealing with panic and mood difficulties, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems around commitment or control.
She also supports those coping with guilt, isolation or questions about life purpose and sexuality. Aija is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She conducts sessions in English and offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
If someone wants to begin, the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their life and goals.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred approaches and online sessions
Aija practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own answers. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, unsure of their choices, overwhelmed by emotions, or wants to build self-confidence.Alongside this core approach she uses a coaching orientation to help set and test practical goals. That work is useful for people wanting clearer routines, better motivation, or step-by-step strategies to handle anxiety and life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aija will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions collaboratively. If a different emphasis would work better, she will explain options and adjust the plan together with the person in therapy.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, written processing or people who prefer not to use audio. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day commitments, and let people choose what helps them engage most effectively.
