About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people manage strong emotions like anger, stress and anxiety. She works with individuals to understand what triggers intense reactions and to build calmer ways of responding. Claudia speaks English and French and practises in the United Kingdom.
Claudia draws on several approaches to shape therapy around each person. She uses client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with processing strong feelings and improving emotional connections.
Her background includes six years of clinical work and experience with a wide range of concerns, including depression, addiction, trauma and grief. Claudia also notes experience related to neurodiversity, attachment and blended family challenges. She aims to make sessions practical and readable, with small steps that fit into daily life.
Claudia emphasises a collaborative way of working. Clients set goals and she helps select tools that suit their situation and temperament. Sessions can include talking, practical exercises and attention to patterns of feeling and behaviour.
If someone wants to begin, the usual route is to use the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to the therapist's availability. The cost varies by location and is charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Claudia’s approaches work in online therapy
Claudia combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and emotionally-focused approaches to shape online sessions that focus on what a person needs. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, which helps people feel heard and make choices about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in identifying, naming and working through strong emotions to change how they relate to those feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as therapy progresses, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins that match a work break or a short quieter period. They also let people use tools and exercises at home and practise skills between meetings, helping therapy stay connected to everyday life.
