Claudia Brooker offers warm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She writes and speaks in English and French and brings six years of clinical experience to each session. Claudia works with a wide range of concerns, including mood difficulties, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Claudia uses approaches that help people understand their feelings and make practical changes. Sessions focus on what matters now - coping strategies, clearer thinking, and rebuilding confidence.

Background and approach

She pays attention to background issues such as attachment, adoption and identity where they are relevant to current difficulties. Her training and background include a recognised BACP membership, and she has worked with people affected by trauma, burnout and complex emotional problems.

Claudia draws on Jungian perspectives and existential ideas to help people find meaning, alongside client-centred listening and cognitive-behavioural strategies for problem solving. People can expect a respectful, exploratory style rather than a directive one. Claudia aims to make sessions feel manageable and down-to-earth, with practical options to try between meetings.

She can also support those exploring body image, parenting stresses, neurodiversity, BDSM and kink matters when these come up. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and delivered in English or French. Online options mean conversations can happen by phone, video, live chat or messaging, depending on what suits the person.

How Claudia pplies practical approaches online

Claudia uses client-centred therapy to focus on the person's own experience and priorities. That approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what comes up, and helps the person choose the topics to work on; it is useful for building trust and exploring identity or attachment concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT gives concrete techniques - for example changing thinking habits, testing beliefs in daily life and practising small behavioural steps - which can help with anxiety, low mood and many practical problems.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that match the person's needs, adapting methods over time in collaboration with the client.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is close to an in-person conversation and can help with longer, reflective work. Phone calls remove the need to be on camera and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer to type rather than speak. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and differing communication styles, while letting people keep continuity with the same therapist.
