About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Her focus also includes anxiety, depression, parenting and issues around self-esteem and life changes.
Claudia sees clients as the experts in their own stories. She listens for the patterns that keep causing pain and helps people notice strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and conversational, with space to talk through difficult feelings and past events.
Her background includes psychodynamic ideas, trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems approaches. Claudia uses those frameworks to help people understand how past relationships shape current reactions. She helps people trace where old coping strategies began and what they are doing now.
Practical tasks and reflective conversation are mixed in sessions. That can mean working on how to manage anxiety day to day, talking through grief, or looking at attachment and intimacy patterns. Claudia also addresses parenting strain and family-related stress in ways that fit an adult’s everyday life.
She speaks English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Using psychodynamic, trauma-focused and IFS approaches online
Claudia draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. That work often involves talking about early patterns and noticing how they turn up in daily life. It can be useful for worries about attachment, intimacy and recurring relationship problems.Trauma-focused therapy in her practice means calmly addressing distressing memories and the reactions that follow them. The aim is to reduce the day-to-day hold of past events and build safer ways of coping with triggers. Internal Family Systems helps people identify inner parts or voices and learn how to relate to them with less conflict; this can be helpful for shame, self-criticism and patterns linked to attachment or abandonment.
Claudia sees finding the right approach as a joint process. She will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the balance of reflection and practical tasks as the work unfolds.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or let someone take part without travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help therapy slot into everyday life while focusing on the issues that matter.
