About Claudia

Claudia Brooker offers a calm, straightforward way to tackle everyday pressures and longer-standing pain. She is a counsellor with six years' experience who speaks English and French. Claudia works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and trauma.

She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and career concerns. Claudia uses practical talking and thinking tools to help people notice patterns in their feelings and behaviour.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience first. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to break down unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. Her approach also includes emotionally-focused ideas that help people understand attachment and closeness.

Claudia pays attention to backgrounds that affect how people relate, including adoption, abandonment and blended family dynamics. She is familiar with autism and attachment issues and can discuss how these shape emotional life. Claudia's practice is informed by a range of therapeutic ideas, including Jungian perspectives on meaning and inner life.

Over six years she has worked with people facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue and the aftermath of abuse. She aims to adapt sessions to each person's needs rather than following one set method. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Claudia is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works from the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Ways of working Claudia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Claudia commonly uses client-centred work which focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can follow their own pace. This approach suits those who need space to make sense of feelings and choices. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that breaks down thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps and helps build new routines for anxiety, sleep or mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Claudia will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods together and adapt them as needed. The aim is to match tools to the person rather than forcing a single style.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and rhythms. Video calls work well for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
