About Claudia

Claudia Faulkner-Walsh is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief and life changes. Claudia also works with clients facing issues around identity, intimacy, parenting and career pressures, including young adult issues.

Her practice uses client-centred therapy to focus on each person's perspective. Sessions prioritise listening and reflection so people can clarify what matters most to them. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns that affect relationships and closeness.

Claudia aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through current problems, explore emotional reactions, and try small changes between meetings. Conversations may cover communication skills, coping strategies for anxiety or sleep, and ways to manage work or study stress.

She is familiar with concerns that often arise in early adulthood - leaving home, first jobs, study pressures, money worries, relationships and feeling behind peers. Claudia supports people who are navigating those transitions while also dealing with grief, identity questions, or discrimination.

Her background includes seven years of practice under the BACP registration. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of sessions. It involves active listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for exploring stress, low mood, identity questions and everyday pressures that young adults face.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional patterns in relationships. It helps people recognise and name feelings, and then change how they respond to each other. This can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and try methods that suit the person. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also let someone avoid being on camera if that helps with comfort or concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while focusing on what fits your life and goals.
