About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues. Claudia also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and addictive behaviours.
She sees the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on what the client already brings to sessions. Conversations are practical and direct. Claudia helps people notice patterns that leave them drained or overly responsible for others, and then tries out different ways of responding.
Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to uncover long-standing patterns and on trauma-focused approaches when painful experiences are in focus. Internal Family Systems is used to help people recognise and speak with the different parts of themselves that hold fear, anger or care. Sessions often mix gentle exploration with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Claudia will listen for how early relationships or losses shape current struggles. She can help with issues such as setting firmer boundaries, coping with abandonment fears, or managing mood and attention difficulties. People who are around another person’s drinking or volatile mood may find this a practical place to think things through.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a first session is scheduled. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
How sessions work
How Claudia’s approaches translate to online sessions
Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this often means talking through recurring themes, noticing feelings that come up in the session, and linking them back to past experiences. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the hold of painful memories and building skills to manage strong reactions. Online work can include careful, step-by-step processing and practical stabilising exercises. Internal Family Systems helps a person name and talk with their internal parts - for example the part that criticises and the part that protects - so those parts can be understood and coordinated.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss which methods seem useful and will agree a way forward together based on the client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a registered professional from another location. Practical arrangements such as timing and whether to use video or audio can be discussed when scheduling to suit everyday routines.
