About Claudia
Claudia Brooker welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and parenting concerns. Claudia presents herself in plain language and aims to make first steps feel manageable.
Claudia uses a range of approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She draws on client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the client. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns of thinking and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Emotionally-focused ideas guide work around attachment and close relationships. She trained and practised across several therapeutic traditions and has six years' clinical experience. Claudia holds BACP registration, which is noted here as BACP.
Her mixed cultural background gives her an interest in and understanding of varied ethnic and faith perspectives, and she offers sessions in English and French. Claudia works online and by phone as well as through live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to address, whether that is grief, burnout, body image, ADHD or relationship and intimacy-related issues. Practical tools and short exercises are used when helpful, alongside time to reflect on feelings. For people seeking support with parenting questions, Claudia aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through pressures and choices.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit the client.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist pays close attention to what the client brings and helps them explore priorities and choices in simple, steady steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online formats suit CBT well because worksheets, short experiments and homework can be shared and discussed between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people map and shift patterns in close relationships by naming feelings and needs. This approach can be used remotely to support work around attachment, intimacy-related concerns and communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want frequent brief touchpoints, or need to fit sessions around a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and workable for different lives.
