About Claudia

Claudia Castiglione is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports adults dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related difficulties. Claudia also works with issues such as anxiety, stress, anger, addiction and self-esteem concerns.

Her style treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, naming patterns that keep causing strain, and building practical ways to respond differently. Claudia aims to help people who feel stuck after loss, after a difficult relationship, or when past events keep surfacing.

Claudia draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current feelings. She uses trauma-focused approaches when past hurts still affect day-to-day functioning. Internal Family Systems helps identify and speak with the different parts of a person that hold emotion, fear or anger.

People can expect a calm, straightforward process that combines reflection with concrete steps to manage intense feelings. Sessions include exploring triggers, practicing new responses, and checking what works between meetings. Claudia offers support for issues linked to identity, body image, fertility concerns and other life changes.

She works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details via the platform's online process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Claudia uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see how earlier relationships shape current feelings. This approach looks at patterns and repeated reactions, which can help with long-standing anger or repeated relationship conflict.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. This method focuses on processing difficult memories and reducing their hold on present emotions and behaviour.

Internal Family Systems helps people identify the different parts inside them that carry fear, shame or anger, and then learn to speak with those parts rather than act on them.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Claudia will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted to fit what proves most helpful.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time and allowing sessions from a quieter place. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective, flexible care this way and aim to make regular sessions easier to fit into everyday life.
