Claudia Brooker, BACP

Claudia Brooker helps people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or life changes. She works with individuals facing depression, addictions, grief and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. Claudia speaks English and French and practises from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential.

Claudia draws on several therapies to suit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed model. She aims to create a space where people can talk through painful experiences and find clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding how past patterns affect present life.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, burnout and compassion fatigue, and with people navigating neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Claudia also supports those dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image and eating or sleeping difficulties.

She blends client-centred listening with approaches that look at thoughts, emotions and deeper personal meaning. That mix can help with low self-esteem, attachment issues, codependency and commitment problems. Claudia also addresses more specific concerns such as bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and career-related stress.

People can expect conversations that aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Claudia offers online options as well as in-person work in the UK and can guide people through next steps at the start of therapy.

Approaches you can use online and how they help

Claudia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and managing addictive urges.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong feelings and the ways they affect close relationships and personal wellbeing. EFT supports people to recognise, name and work with emotions so they feel less overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels hard. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or a way to work in writing without joining a live session.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to keep contact between meetings, and to choose the format that best supports day-to-day life with work and family commitments.
