About Claudia

Claudia Brooker is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and mood difficulties. Claudia also supports those dealing with relationship strains, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.

She uses straightforward conversations to find what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to make sense of thoughts and feelings, and to build small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Claudia speaks English and French and brings six years of clinical experience to her work.

Her approach draws on several well known therapies, including client‑centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally‑focused ideas. Claudia adapts methods to each person rather than following a single model. This means sessions can include talking, practical exercises and reflection on patterns that repeat in relationships.

Claudia also has interest in attachment-related issues, adoption and foster care, and neurodiversity including autism and Asperger syndrome. She pays attention to cultural background and sexual minority concerns when these are relevant to a person's story.

For people wanting to begin, Claudia asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Claudia’s approaches can work online

Claudia draws on client‑centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to shape her online counselling. Client‑centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s view so they feel heard and can find their own direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours that can relieve anxiety or low mood.

She also uses emotionally‑focused ideas to help people notice patterns in close relationships and to respond differently to emotional triggers. These approaches suit worries about stress, intimacy, relationship patterns and mood changes because they combine talking with practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape the method together. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

The original biography does not list specific online session types. Before booking, confirm which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions where helpful. It can also let people continue work when living in different parts of the United Kingdom while working with registered or accredited professionals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
