About Claudia
Claudia Brooker greets people with calm focus and a straightforward approach. She offers practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low mood. Claudia also supports those facing identity and intimacy concerns, career strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and life changes that feel overwhelming.
Claudia holds BACP registration, and she brings six years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She draws on a mix of well-known therapies to shape sessions around each person's needs.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by the client's priorities and paced to what feels manageable. Sessions typically include exploring how thoughts, feelings and relationships affect day-to-day life. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are used alongside deeper, emotion-focused work.
Jungian ideas and existential questions can help when people want to examine meaning, identity or recurring life patterns. Claudia also has experience supporting people with attachment matters, adoption and foster care issues, neurodiversity such as autism, and concerns linked to kink and alternative sex culture. She can work in English and French.
International work is not currently offered. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps identify priorities and practical arrangements. Sessions are arranged according to availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Claudia works online
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday difficulties where behaviour and thought patterns keep problems going.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in her work when relationships and intense feelings are central. EFT helps people recognise, name and work with strong emotions to change how they respond to others and themselves.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Claudia will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as therapy continues.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in if needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to help people work on practical day-to-day issues from wherever they are.
