Claudia Faulkner-Walsh, BACP

Claudia Faulkner-Walsh practises a person-centred style of counselling that puts the individual at the centre of each session. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people talk about what matters most to them. Claudia is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience in the UK. She helps people manage stress and anxiety with straightforward conversation and steady support. She also works with depression, grief and coping with life changes. Sessions cover practical problems such as sleep, career stress and parenting pressures. Relationship concerns are another focus. Claudia assists with communication problems, commitment worries, jealousy and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing separation or divorce and the challenges of blended family arrangements. Claudia pays attention to identity and social stressors. She offers help around LGBT issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination. Postpartum depression, self-esteem and questions about life purpose are also within her experience. Her approach is conversational and emotional. She helps clients name feelings, notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Therapy can include short-term coaching-style work or longer emotional processing depending on what the person needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on availability. International clients may be supported in English by video, phone, chat or messaging.

Working with emotion and connection online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's pace. It helps people who need a calm space to talk things through and to build self-trust. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional patterns in relationships and attachment. EFT can be helpful for people dealing with intimacy problems, communication breakdowns or strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest whether client-centred conversations, emotionally-focused work, or a mix would suit the situation. This choice is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study or family life and to continue work with a registered or accredited professional from different locations.
