Claudia Brooker, BACP

Claudia Brooker is a UK-based psychotherapist who brings a compassionate, culturally informed approach to individual, couple, and family work. With six years of clinical experience, she offers both in-person and online sessions tailored to each client's needs, drawing on a wide range of therapeutic tools to address stress, anxiety, trauma, post-traumatic stress, and burnout. Claudia also works with depression, low self-esteem, addiction, autism-related concerns, abuse recovery, and a broad spectrum of relationship and life challenges.

Her training spans many therapeutic models, including Gestalt, NPL, Family Systems, Attachment Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Nesting Child Theory, Sandboxing, Dream Interpretation, and Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy. This breadth of training allows her to adapt techniques and interventions so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing the client to fit a single method. Claudia is also qualified and experienced in clinical supervision, supporting other practitioners in their professional development.

Claudia identifies as a TCK (Third Culture Kid/Adult), reflecting personal experience across mixed cultural backgrounds and a strong understanding of diverse ethnic, cultural, and multi-faith perspectives. She has a particular interest in working with members of sexual minorities and brings sensitivity to issues around identity and belonging. Claudia is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and provides therapy in English and French.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Claudia integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients are guided to explore their own values and choices, which is helpful for self-esteem, identity, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT works with emotional patterns in relationships, helping couples and family members notice and change interaction cycles to build stronger emotional bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective for the client's changing needs.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and geographical constraints. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and access therapy from the comfort of one’s chosen setting while working with a registered professional who tailors support to individual circumstances.
