About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a counsellor who works with people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She helps with phobias, depression, addictions and relationship concerns. Claudia speaks English and French and practises in the United Kingdom.
Claudia uses a clear, conversational style in sessions. She aims to make complex problems easier to talk about. She focuses on what feels most urgent for the person in front of her.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years working in therapeutic roles and a BACP accreditation. That experience has included work with trauma, grief and burnout, as well as difficulties around self-esteem and intimacy. Claudia also has experience supporting people with ADHD and neurodiversity-related concerns.
Her approach draws on several well-known therapies. She uses client-centred ways to follow a person’s lead and build trust. She applies cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes.
Emotionally-focused ideas are used when feelings and close relationships are the main concern. Claudia offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. International clients are not currently accepted.
New people start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit their schedule.
Therapy approaches and online options
Claudia draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to help people online. Client-centred therapy means she follows the person’s pace and priorities, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and uses simple steps to try different responses. Emotionally-focused ideas concentrate on how feelings show up in close relationships and help people name and shift those patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that fit. That lets the person and therapist adjust course as they learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls let people see visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits shorter updates, written reflection or those who prefer to communicate in text. These options aim to give flexible ways to keep appointments and progress between sessions.
