Claudia Brooker, BACP

Claudia Brooker welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life shifts. She writes plainly and listens carefully, helping clients untangle difficult feelings and find practical steps forward. Claudia uses straightforward conversation and reflective work to help people feel steadier day to day.

With six years of practice, Claudia draws on a mix of well known therapeutic styles. She blends client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion-focused work. This gives space to talk through feelings while also learning new ways to manage thoughts and reactions.

Claudia has BACP credentialing, which indicates she is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and French. International clients are not accepted at this time.

In sessions she helps people address a wide range of concerns, including depression, bereavement and trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder and career-related strain. She also supports people facing attachment, abandonment or identity questions, and those involved in alternative sexual cultures.

Getting started is simple: select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Claudia aims to tailor each session to what the person needs right now, combining practical strategies with time to reflect and process feelings.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people name and understand their feelings, which is useful for anxiety, grief and self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and cope better with stress and mood difficulties.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they shape close connections. It can help people understand attachment worries and work through painful emotional cycles that affect relationships and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-led sessions with skills practice and emotional processing over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online and in-person options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that mirrors many benefits of face-to-face therapy while adapting methods to the online setting.
