About Claudia

Claudia Brooker is a counsellor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She speaks English and French and brings six years of practice to each meeting. Claudia works with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addiction and issues linked to identity and intimacy.

Claudia uses a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot patterns and try practical changes. Emotionally-focused ideas help with close relationships and attachment concerns.

Her background includes work with trauma, burnout and complex emotional reactions. Claudia’s lived experience as a third culture adult informs her awareness of different cultural and faith backgrounds. She also has experience supporting people from sexual minority communities and those navigating adoption and foster care matters.

Claudia describes therapy as a collaborative process that helps people face challenges, build resilience and find balance. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and pace. If you want to explore how therapy might help, she asks clients to begin with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.

Claudia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. For practical arrangements such as session timing and current formats, please confirm the options available before booking.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online work

Claudia often combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused work. Client-centred work focuses on a person’s priorities and follows their pace, which can help when sorting stress or identity questions. Cognitive behavioural methods look at thought and behaviour patterns and use practical exercises to test small changes. Emotionally-focused work examines how people connect with others and can be useful for attachment and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia aims to decide the best mix together, based on what a person wants to change and how they prefer to work. She collaborates on goals and adapts methods as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work breaks or when juggling caring responsibilities. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm which options are currently offered before booking so you can choose what fits your routine.
