Claudia Castiglione

Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who uses thoughtful talking and listening to help people change painful patterns. She works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy concerns. Claudia believes people carry strengths that can help them move forward, and she aims to support each person in taking the first steps toward a more satisfying life.

She trained and practises with a psychodynamic outlook, which looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions. She also uses trauma-focused work to help people process painful events in a way that feels manageable. Internal Family Systems is part of her approach too, and it helps people name and befriend different parts of themselves.

Claudia keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She helps people notice patterns in their relationships and emotions, then tries small, practical ways to shift them. She will often invite clients to reflect on memories, explore current difficulties, and try experiments between sessions to test new responses.

She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Claudia works from the United Kingdom and offers help in English. Her background includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, addiction, eating concerns, ADHD and identity matters such as LGBT issues.

Claudia encourages people who feel stuck to reach out and see if therapy could help them. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to tailor the work to each person’s goals and pace.

Approaches online and how they help

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and life experiences shape current feelings and behaviour; it can help when someone keeps repeating the same relationship patterns or feels stuck without obvious cause. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful or frightening events in small, contained steps so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming. Internal Family Systems offers simple language for parts of the self, helping people understand inner conflict and soften self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The plan can change as therapy progresses, and the client’s experience guides decisions about pace and focus.

The original profile does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to meet from different locations if international arrangements are required. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and reflective tasks for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
