About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. Claudia also supports people struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions and ADHD.
Claudia works from the view that people know their own stories. She helps clients notice their strengths and use those strengths to tackle what feels overwhelming. Sessions are straightforward conversations that look at what has been happening and what a person wants to change.
Her background includes psychodynamic work that pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships. She draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life, and she uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves.
Claudia often helps with practical life changes such as career shifts, parenting pressures, and coping after loss. She also covers topics like body image, codependency, commitment worries and sexual expression related to BDSM and kink. When needed she addresses mood difficulties including bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation.
People who contact Claudia can expect a calm, direct approach. She will work with clients to set clear goals and take small steps toward them. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Claudia uses psychodynamic therapy to notice patterns from past relationships and how they show up now. This approach helps when repeating cycles or long-standing relationship habits feel unhelpful. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the impact of past harm and on building ways to manage its effects in daily life. Internal Family Systems works with different 'parts' of a person to reduce internal conflict and increase self-understanding.Finding the right approach is something to work out together. Claudia will ask about a person's goals, what has helped before, and how they prefer to work. She aims to choose methods that match those needs and will adjust the plan as sessions progress in a collaborative way.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in during a break or to meet when relocating or living abroad.
