About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with common early-adult pressures such as stress and anxiety and lists a wide range of concerns including addiction, relationship and family issues, depression, trauma, grief and identity-related difficulties. She also supports people facing work and career strain, parenting stress, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
Claudia uses a blend of talking therapies to help people understand how they feel and what gets in the way of change. She draws on client-centred principles to prioritise the person's perspective and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that sustain distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform her work around close relationships and attachment patterns.
Her background includes work with people from mixed cultural and multi-faith backgrounds, and an interest in supporting members of sexual minority groups. She speaks English and French and does not accept international clients outside the United Kingdom.
Claudia describes experience with a broad list of areas such as body image, codependency, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also notes work related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.

How Claudia uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Claudia draws on client-centred ideas which prioritise the person’s experience and aim to build a trusting working relationship. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through confusion about identity, life choices or relationship problems.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and tests small changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, sleeping or eating difficulties and for coping with stress in study or work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then they will agree ways of working together. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
