About Claudia

Claudia Brooker welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief or the emotional toll of major life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward way of talking through difficult feelings and thinking about next steps. Claudia is approachable and practical, and she aims to help people feel steadier and clearer about what to do next.

Claudia has six years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a mix of therapy styles to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how feelings affect daily life, and steps clients can try between meetings.

Her work often addresses trauma, burnout, addiction and low self-esteem, and she also supports people dealing with identity questions and relationship strain. Claudia has experience with autism and with concerns related to sexual minority status, and she is familiar with cultural issues from a mixed-cultural background.

Claudia uses approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies and emotionally-focussed methods to help people regulate emotions and change unhelpful patterns. She will personalise the mix in conversation with each client and set short-term goals where helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and French in the United Kingdom. Because session formats were not specified in the supplied profile, please confirm current options directly before booking.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own self-discovery. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people clarify feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and coping strategies. Emotionally-Focussed Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and shift emotional responses that cause distance or hurt.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Claudia will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions and adapt methods as needs and goals change. That means trying a practical CBT exercise one week and more reflective client-centred work the next, depending on progress and preference.

The main practical benefit of online working is fitting therapy into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and to schedule short check-ins around work or childcare. Because the supplied profile did not specify which session formats are offered, please confirm current online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and frequency to help therapy fit a client's routine rather than the other way around.
