Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic ideas alongside trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems to help people understand painful patterns. She sees the person behind the problem and supports them in making small, practical changes. Claudia holds BACP registration and works from the United Kingdom.

Claudia helps people who feel stuck after loss, relationship strain, or upsetting events. She also supports those managing anxiety, depression, addictive behaviours, and challenges with self-esteem or identity.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at making sense of emotions and building clearer ways of coping. Her approach draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and choices. Trauma-focused techniques are used when distress comes from painful events, helping people to process and move forward.

Internal Family Systems offers a way to name and work with different parts of oneself that may be in conflict. Claudia values a collaborative style. She listens for strengths and works with each person’s goals.

Therapy is paced to fit what someone can manage, with attention to practical steps between sessions. With four years of professional experience, Claudia aims to make therapy direct and understandable. She supports people through grief, relationship difficulties, issues around intimacy and sexuality, body image, parenting stress, career concerns, and life changes.

Sessions are conducted in English and can include clients based outside the United Kingdom.

How psychodynamic, trauma work and IFS translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships affect present feelings and choices. Online sessions allow time to reflect on those patterns and notice how they show up in everyday life. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process upsetting events and reduce their hold on day-to-day functioning. In remote sessions this can involve paced, carefully guided conversations and techniques suited to each person’s needs. Internal Family Systems helps name and work with different parts of the self that may be in conflict or causing distress, giving a clear map to steer conversations and practical exercises.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Claudia will listen to what matters to the person, try methods that match their goals, and adapt over time. The intention is to choose approaches that feel doable and relevant rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and written reflection possible between conversations. These options help people keep continuity of care, manage busy lives, and access therapy from different locations while working with registered or accredited professionals.
