About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who draws on psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused work to help people facing relationship strains and depression. She holds BACP accreditation, and she frames clients as the experts in their own stories. Her approach is gentle and straightforward, aimed at making change feel possible over time.
Claudia has four years of experience in the UK and has supported people through grief, intimacy concerns, and the after-effects of abuse.
Background and approach
She listens for the patterns that keep causing pain, then helps people notice and shift them. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps alongside reflecting on past experiences. Her practice also addresses anxiety, stress, addiction-related struggles, and challenges with self-esteem or body image.
She works with issues around parenting, career decisions, and major life changes. Claudia pays attention to how identity and relationships shape emotional life, including LGBT concerns and attachment wounds. Claudia uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.
She also draws on Internal Family Systems to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts interact. This mix aims to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of internal cooperation. Clients can expect a collaborative atmosphere where goals are set together.
Claudia helps people spot strengths, try new ways of relating, and build routines that support wellbeing. Her tone is practical, empathic, and steady.

Approaches Claudia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the ways distressing events continue to affect daily life. That work focuses on reducing intense reactions and practising new responses so memories cause less disruption. Internal Family Systems is used to meet different parts of the self, learn what they need, and encourage those parts to cooperate more smoothly.
Choosing the right method is part of the therapy process. Claudia works collaboratively to match approach and pace to a person's goals and preferences, adjusting as needs change. The aim is to find what helps most in everyday life rather than sticking to a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life, or other commitments.
