Claudia Brooker , BACP

Claudia Brooker is a UK-based psychotherapist who combines professional training with lived cross-cultural experience to support individuals, couples and families. With six years of practice, she offers both in-person and online sessions tailored to each client - addressing stress, anxiety, trauma, post-traumatic stress and burnout as well as depression, low self-esteem, addiction and autism-related concerns. Claudia draws on a broad clinical toolkit to shape interventions that meet each person where they are. She has training in Gestalt, NPL, Family Systems, Attachment Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Nesting Child Theory, Sandboxing, Dream Interpretation and Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy, enabling a flexible approach to complex emotional and relational difficulties.

Claudia is also experienced in clinical supervision and in supporting other practitioners in their professional development. She is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. As a Third Culture Kid and someone of mixed cultural background, she brings an informed awareness of diverse ethnic, cultural and multi-faith perspectives and has a particular interest in working with sexual minority clients. Claudia offers a collaborative, compassionate style that helps people explore feelings, face challenges and build resilience for a more balanced life.

Flexible Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Claudia integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to provide adaptable online care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and builds a supportive, empathic space where exploration and self-direction are encouraged - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and addictive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment bonds, making it well suited to relationship difficulties and attachment-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy with Claudia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations or geographic constraints within the United Kingdom. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage in therapy in ways that fit daily life while still working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
