Claudia Faulkner-Walsh uses a client-centred approach to help people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. She listens carefully and helps individuals find clearer ways to cope. Claudia holds BACP registration and brings seven years of professional experience in the UK.

She focuses on everyday problems that become heavy to carry. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and sleep difficulties. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, blended family challenges and parenting strain.

Background and approach

Claudia draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift painful interaction patterns. She uses client-centred methods to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful. Together with each person she sets goals and works at the pace they prefer.

Her work includes support for people facing career doubts, life changes, issues around self-esteem and identity, and experiences of prejudice or multicultural strain. She also offers coaching-style conversations for practical next steps when that is helpful. Sessions are offered in English and Claudia accepts international clients.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Claudia's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to uncover what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people recognise painful cycles and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. This can be useful for intimacy concerns, communication problems and grief work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit. The process is collaborative and may include adjusting methods as needs become clearer.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing, or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel.

What concerns does she help with?

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and sleep problems, plus relationship and intimacy-related issues. Additional focuses include parenting, career concerns, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her style is client-centred and collaborative, with elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Conversations aim to be practical and focused on what feels most important to the client.
