About Claudia

Claudia Brooker is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are tired, anxious, or struggling to sleep. She describes straightforward, practical support for worries such as stress, anxiety, low mood, addiction and sleep problems. Claudia works in English and French and brings six years of professional experience to sessions.

Claudia uses a mix of talking and practical techniques so people can find what helps them day to day. She offers a calm space to talk about trauma, grief, burnout and relationship concerns. Sessions aim to make things more manageable rather than promising quick fixes.

Her background includes a range of therapy approaches, which she draws on to suit each person. Claudia pays attention to how past attachments and life transitions shape current struggles. She often addresses issues like self-esteem, body image and intimacy in ways that connect feelings to everyday behaviour.

People who have moved between countries or who identify within sexual minority groups may find her cultural perspective helpful. Claudia also works with stress linked to caring roles, compassion fatigue and career pressures. She encourages small, practical steps towards better sleep, steadier mood and clearer priorities.

When someone begins working with Claudia, she and the client agree goals and try techniques that fit the person’s life. Progress is reviewed along the way and plans are adjusted as needed.

How Claudia uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching tools for better daily routines and calmer thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and the feelings that drive them, helping people see and shift interaction patterns that cause pain.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Claudia will discuss which ideas and exercises fit the person’s goals and try different ways of working until something feels helpful. The plan is adjusted over time, and the client helps shape what happens in sessions.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and being able to continue work when travel is difficult. Online work can make shorter check-ins simple and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Session formats are not listed here; please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is offered.
