About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who uses Trauma-Focused and psychodynamic ideas alongside Internal Family Systems. She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues and anxiety. Claudia works to create a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences and start to make small changes.
She describes people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on understanding patterns that keep problems happening.
Background and approach
That can mean talking about past experiences, noting how those experiences affect current relationships, and trying different ways of relating to difficult feelings. Claudia has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her background gives her familiarity with a wide range of concerns including mood problems, addiction, eating and body image worries, self-esteem, anger, ADHD and parenting stresses. People meet her for help with life transitions, career strain, and intimacy or commitment questions. She also supports those coping with abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation and complex trauma reactions.
The work often mixes exploring early patterns with practical steps for managing symptoms. Sessions are offered in English and Claudia is available to international clients. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging as ways to connect.
To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then book a session according to availability.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process painful events and reduce their ongoing impact. It focuses on specific memories, reactions and skills to manage triggers and distress.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns of feeling and relating that come from earlier experiences. It helps people understand how past relationships shape current behaviour and emotional responses.
Internal Family Systems recognises that people have different parts or aspects inside them. Work with these parts can reduce inner conflict and create more balance when facing stress or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss what feels most useful and tailor sessions to the client's goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer, in-depth conversations while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to keep contact consistent over time.
