About Claudia

Claudia Brooker is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and anger, among other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and French. International clients are not currently accepted.

Claudia uses straightforward, conversational work to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She draws on client-centred ways of working to focus on what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs how she approaches relationship pain and intimacy-related issues, helping people name and work with feelings in the moment. Claudia also brings ideas from Jungian and existential approaches when exploration of meaning or deeper life questions is needed. These influences inform rather than dictate the session plan.

She has experience supporting people with family and attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, ADHD, body image and sexual minority concerns. Claudia also works with eating, sleeping and grief issues, plus career and parenting stress. Her background as a third culture adult shapes her awareness of cultural and multi-faith complexity.

Practical matters are handled plainly: session cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How Claudia uses therapeutic approaches online

Claudia often uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the individual’s immediate concerns. This approach means listening closely and reflecting back what matters most, which can help when anger feels confusing or overwhelming.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to break down thoughts, feelings and actions into small, practical steps. CBT can help with patterns like rumination, avoidance or repeated outbursts by offering clear strategies to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used where relationship or intimacy pain is central; it helps people name and work with feelings as they arise and can change how people respond to each other.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss methods and decide together which fit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps shape the focus of sessions and what to practise between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and emotion-focused work to remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
