Claudia Brooker , BACP

Claudia Brooker is a UK-based psychotherapist with six years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families both in person and online. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses many related areas such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and kink-aware care.

Claudia draws on diverse therapeutic training to tailor care to each person - including Gestalt, NLP, Family Systems, Attachment Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Nesting Child Theory, sandboxing, dream interpretation, and cognitive and behavioral techniques. She is qualified to provide clinical supervision and offers interventions designed to build resilience and help clients face life changes with greater clarity and balance. Claudia identifies as a third culture kid/adult, which contributes to her understanding of multiethnic, multicultural, and multi-faith backgrounds and informs her interest in working with sexual minority clients.

Fluent in English and French, Claudia aims to create a collaborative, compassionate therapeutic relationship that meets each client's unique needs and goals. She offers flexible appointment options and designs treatment plans that reflect the individual circumstances and priorities of those she supports.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Claudia uses client-centered therapy to place the person's own experience and goals at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore their thoughts and feelings and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and related difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps individuals and couples understand and shift emotional responses that shape relationship patterns and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Claudia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, mobility needs, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor support to each client.
