About Claudia
Claudia Brooker helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. She uses plain conversation and steady support to help people make sense of what they are facing. Claudia speaks English and French and practises from the United Kingdom.
She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Claudia draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses client-centred ways to listen and build trust, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at patterns in relationships and feelings.
Background and approach
She also understands deeper themes that come up from life experience and meaning, drawing on existential and Jungian ideas when they help. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as exploring feelings. People might work on coping strategies for anxiety, routines to improve sleep, ways to manage addictive urges, or tools to tackle low self-esteem.
Claudia also helps with trauma, grief and the strain that comes from caring roles or emotional burnout. Her practice suits people who want a collaborative, thoughtful approach. Claudia aims to adapt sessions depending on what the person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.
She offers online formats as well as conversations by phone, chat or messaging. Claudia has six years of professional experience. She describes an interest in cultural diversity and in supporting people from sexual minority backgrounds.
Her approach is practical, conversational and attentive to the whole person.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward strategies and short exercises to break unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to how people experience and express emotions, and to recurring relationship patterns that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will discuss different ideas and try methods that match someone’s goals and preferences. She works together with each person to check what helps and to adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation remotely, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typed exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and to maintain continuity when life changes.
