About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She works with individuals on issues such as depression, addictions, grief and relationship concerns. Claudia communicates in English and French and practises from the United Kingdom under a BACP registration.
Claudia draws on existential ideas to help people think about meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. She also uses client-centred ways of working to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are available when practical steps and thought-work are helpful. Her background includes six years of practice supporting people with trauma, burnout and low self-esteem, and with more specific concerns such as ADHD, bipolar and eating or sleeping difficulties.
She has experience with issues related to attachment, adoption and blended family dynamics, and can talk about intimacy-related and kink or BDSM topics without judgement. Claudia adapts sessions to the individual. Sessions may focus on making sense of difficult events, developing coping strategies, or rebuilding confidence after loss or harm.
She aims for clear, straightforward conversations and practical next steps between meetings. Therapy is provided online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, with sessions delivered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support
How Claudia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Claudia often uses Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice and values when facing difficult life decisions or loss. That approach supports conversations about purpose and what matters most in a person’s life.She also works in a client-centred way, which means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens carefully and shapes sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used for practical steps such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small experiments between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claudia will discuss goals and preferences at the start and together decide whether more reflective meaning-focused work or structured CBT tasks are the best match. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the process. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be a quick way to check in or continue work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
