About Claudia
BACP, 6 years' experience. Claudia Brooker works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and related concerns. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, workplace burnout, ADHD and body-image concerns. Sessions are offered in English and French in the United Kingdom. Claudia is not currently taking international clients.
Claudia uses a range of therapeutic ideas to help people talk through problems and try different ways of coping. She draws on client-centred ways of working to focus on each person's experience. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and emotionally-focused methods when relationships and attachment are central.
Her background includes experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also lists work around kink and alternative sexual culture, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency and commitment problems. Claudia brings six years of practice experience to these areas.
The biography supplied notes training in several models and long-standing practice with trauma, post-traumatic stress, burnout and depression. The listing states clinical supervision experience as well. This profile preserves the therapist's stated approaches without expanding them into qualifications.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling fits
Claudia works with client-centred ways of counselling which focus on listening to the person's experience and helping them find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a non-directive space to think things through.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT ideas to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, low mood and some day-to-day coping strategies.
Emotionally-focused work is used when attachment and close relationships are the main concern. That approach focuses on feelings and how patterns between people keep problems repeating.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the approach collaboratively as sessions proceed.
The biography does not list specific session formats in detail, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow sessions without video if that helps with bandwidth or concentration. Registered or accredited professionals generally offer these practical benefits but check the counsellor's current choices when arranging sessions.
