Claudia Brooker, BACP

Claudia Brooker is a UK-based psychotherapist with six years of clinical experience, offering individual, couples and family therapy both in person and online. She works with a broad range of presenting concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress, burnout, depression, low self-esteem and addictive behaviours, as well as relationship, family and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also addresses challenges such as grief, parenting, sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.

Claudia brings training in multiple therapeutic methods to her work, including Gestalt, family systems approaches, attachment-focused therapy, transactional analysis, cognitive and behavioral techniques, and elements drawn from Jungian and existential thinking. This variety enables her to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client and to draw on different ways of understanding thoughts, emotions and patterns in relationships. She is also qualified and experienced in clinical supervision, supporting other practitioners in their professional development.

As a Third Culture Kid/Adult with mixed cultural background, Claudia has lived experience of diverse ethnic, cultural and multi-faith contexts, and she welcomes work with members of sexual minority communities. She provides therapy in English and French and holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Claudia aims to help people explore their inner life, face and move through difficulties, and build resilience for a more balanced life. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions to clients there through a range of in-person and online formats.

Therapeutic Methods for Online Support and Growth

Claudia integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work and develops self-awareness and personal agency. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, often applied for anxiety, stress, mood difficulties and coping with everyday challenges.

Additionally, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is part of her toolkit for working with relationship and attachment issues. EFT helps people recognize and express underlying emotions and improve emotional connection with partners or family members.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, values and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility around work, caregiving and mobility constraints. These formats allow clients to access regular support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances.
