About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses psychodynamic, trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems. She frames sessions around what matters to each person and helps them make sense of painful patterns and feelings. Claudia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience.
Claudia listens for the history behind current problems. She helps people notice repeated feelings and reactions that cause distress.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change next. Trauma-focused work is used when past events continue to affect daily life. This approach helps people process strong memories and reduce their grip on present feelings.
Claudia also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns today. Internal Family Systems offers a different angle by naming inner parts - the worried, the angry, the protective parts - and helping them relate differently. This can be useful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, self‑esteem struggles, or difficulties with intimacy.
Claudia works with a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, grief, addiction, eating issues, ADHD and career stress. Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate, so people leave with clearer steps and a plan for change. People can expect a collaborative approach where their experience is central.
Claudia encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews progress together.

Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when distressing memories or experiences continue to affect daily life. It focuses on processing those experiences and reducing their emotional charge so people can feel less overwhelmed by triggers and memories.
Internal Family Systems offers a hands-on way to name different parts of a person’s inner world - the protective parts, the hurt parts and the reactive parts - and to help those parts listen to each other more kindly. It can be helpful for anxiety, self-esteem struggles and difficulties with intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about how the work feels and adjusts the plan together.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows for a fuller conversational feel, phone sessions can fit around short breaks or low bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
