Claudia Brooker , BACP

Claudia Brooker is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist with six years of clinical experience who works with individuals, couples, and families in person and online. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress, burnout, depression, low self-esteem, addiction, autism-related issues, relationship and family difficulties, and grief. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting and caregiver stress, eating and sleeping struggles, attention differences, and coping with life changes.

Claudia draws on a range of therapeutic orientations tailored to each client’s needs, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and Jungian Therapy. She is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. In addition to working directly with clients, she is qualified and experienced in providing clinical supervision.

As a third culture kid and adult, Claudia brings an awareness of mixed cultural backgrounds and multi-faith contexts to her work, and she has a particular interest in supporting people from sexual minority communities. She offers therapy in English and French and aims to tailor each treatment plan to the unique circumstances and goals of the person or family seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Practice

Claudia integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps people explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - it is useful for building self-understanding and strengthening coping resources. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and stress-related problems, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and develop new skills. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples and families to help partners better understand emotional responses and improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claudia collaborates with each person or family to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to reflect progress and changing circumstances, maintaining a collaborative, client-centered stance.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility constraints, or geographical distance within the therapist’s service area. Working online can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into everyday life, and access licensed professionals and therapists when in-person appointments are not convenient.
