About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. She speaks English and French and brings six years of practice to conversations about low mood, trauma, grief and self-esteem. Claudia aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Claudia uses a mix of talking approaches to suit different needs. She draws on client-centred work to follow each person’s pace and on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools help when feelings and connection are central concerns.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced abuse, burnout and complex stress reactions. Claudia says her mixed cultural upbringing helps her understand different backgrounds and perspectives. She also has experience supporting people who identify as part of sexual minorities.
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection. That might mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising new ways to respond, or naming painful emotions so they lose some power. Claudia aims for clear, manageable goals people can use between sessions.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Claudia also mentions experience in areas such as ADHD, attachment issues, body image, codependency and intimacy-related concerns.
People interested in working together are invited to complete the service’s Start Therapy process and book a time that fits their schedule. The therapist’s approach is described as adaptable, with emphasis on listening and practical support.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online counselling
Claudia commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide sessions online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, which helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to try between meetings, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adjust as needed, making choices with the client rather than prescribing a single route. This collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s concerns and preferences.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or remove travel time. Online meetings also make it straightforward to continue work when life circumstances change, while still focusing on practical steps and emotional processing.
