About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, depression, stress and anxiety. Claudia also supports those dealing with self-esteem, addiction-related issues and life changes.
Claudia frames clients as the experts in their own stories. She uses this view to help people notice strengths they already have. Sessions are focused on clear, practical steps along with space to think through painful memories and current challenges.
Her practice draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life events. Trauma-focused work is used when past events are affecting day-to-day functioning, helping people make sense of strong emotional responses. Internal Family Systems is included to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts relate to one another.
Claudia aims to balance talking and reflection with practical coping strategies. She often explores emotions linked to loss, attachment and identity while also supporting goal-oriented steps for change. People come for a range of issues including eating concerns, ADHD, parenting strain and career stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Claudia accepts international clients. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic Therapy in Claudia's practice looks at recurring relationship and emotional patterns. Online sessions using this approach focus on noticing how past experiences show up now and on building awareness of automatic responses.Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to work through painful memories and strong reactions. In remote sessions this involves paced conversations and grounding techniques to help people stay present while talking about difficult events.
Internal Family Systems helps people identify and communicate with different parts of themselves. Online meetings can use guided dialogue and reflective exercises to recognise these parts and shift how they relate to one another.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudia will discuss which methods might suit a person's needs, goals and preferences and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. The decision about approach is worked out together during early sessions.
For practicalities, confirm the exact session formats before you book since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also permits video or audio options if that helps someone engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to keep therapy accessible alongside everyday life.
