About

About Claudia

Claudia Brooker is a counsellor with six years' practical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, addiction and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions around identity including LGBT issues.

Claudia uses a straightforward, people-focused way of working. Sessions give space to talk and to try new ways of coping. She draws on approaches that help clients understand patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen emotional connection.

Background and approach

Her background includes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Claudia has worked with people affected by attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, and neurodiversity including autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also supports clients facing caregiving stress, body image issues, and challenges around sexuality and kink cultures.

In therapy she blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive-behavioural approaches. She also brings in emotionally-focused ideas to help with relationship and intimacy problems. The aim is to match what happens in sessions to each person's needs and goals.

Sessions can be offered in English or French. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription model can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Claudia often blends client-centred work and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it suits those who need a supportive, non-directive space. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, improve sleep and tackle unhelpful habits. Emotionally-focused ideas also appear in her practice to help people understand and change interaction patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia works collaboratively to agree a plan that fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. She will help you try different tools and adjust the focus as progress is made, so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to schedule sessions during a work break. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, such as those listed with BACP, often offer ways to make sessions work for your routine and commitments.
