About Claudia

Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused work to help people make sense of painful patterns. She has four years of experience in practice and holds BACP registration with work based in the United Kingdom. Claudia approaches sessions with a respectful, curious style and aims to help people feel steadier as they tackle difficult issues.

Claudia often supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with depression, anxiety, grief, stress and issues linked to addiction and ADHD. Other areas she addresses include self-esteem, body image and career worries, and she offers help around parenting and family-related concerns.

Her way of working draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at recurring patterns and early influences that shape current feelings. Trauma-focused methods are used to prioritise safety and reduce the hold of past events on day-to-day life. Internal Family Systems is offered as a way to notice different inner parts and to foster better internal balance.

Claudia describes clients as experts in their own stories and aims to collaborate on practical steps forward. She focuses on building a steady therapeutic relationship and on clear, manageable goals between sessions. The tone in the room is warm and straightforward, with attention to small changes that make daily life easier.

Sessions are offered in English and Claudia accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the site's booking flow.

How Claudia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic work looks at repeated patterns and the feelings behind them, helping people see how past experiences influence current reactions and relationships. This can be done online through thoughtful conversation and reflection to spot themes and triggers.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events and building stronger coping. Online sessions can provide a steady rhythm of support to process memories and practise grounding strategies between meetings.

Internal Family Systems helps people identify different inner parts and build better internal balance. In an online setting this often involves guided noticing, gentle dialogue with parts and practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are revisited as therapy progresses so the plan changes when it needs to.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday or enabling sessions when someone is based abroad. It also supports continuity of care when life circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical steps that help day-to-day functioning.
