About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and trauma, and she addresses related concerns such as low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and relationship or intimacy issues.
Claudia offers individual work aimed at helping clients name strong emotions and understand how they affect choices. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, ADHD, caregiver strain and career pressures. Her experience includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment problems and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment patterns. She also uses Client-Centred methods to focus on what the client brings, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address specific thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. Claudia combines these methods in practical sessions that keep conversations direct and focused.
Claudia describes herself as having a mixed cultural background and experience with sexual minorities, which informs her awareness of cultural and identity issues in therapy. She has worked with people affected by trauma, including post-traumatic stress and burnout, and brings that experience into assessment and planning.
She is experienced in clinical supervision in addition to frontline counselling. To start, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How her methods translate to online work
Claudia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and name strong feelings and the attachment patterns that shape relationships. EFT can be useful when emotions feel confusing or when recurring relationship dynamics keep repeating.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on what the client brings to each session and encourages open, client-led conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify and change thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress, for example with anxiety, sleep or mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss your goals and preferences and together you can decide which combination of methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and short-term goals.
