About Claudia
BACP. 4 years of experience. Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties and mood concerns such as depression and anxiety. She also supports people facing stress, addiction concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD and other life changes.
Claudia uses Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems in her work. She describes clients as experts in their own stories and helps them use their strengths to address what feels difficult. Sessions aim to identify patterns, process painful experiences and build practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.
Her approach involves listening to personal history and noticing how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. With Trauma-Focused Therapy she helps people work through distress linked to traumatic events. Internal Family Systems work looks at different parts of a person’s internal experience and how those parts relate to each other.
Claudia offers structured conversations where problems are named and steps are discussed. This can mean setting small goals, practising coping skills, working with painful memories or looking at relationship patterns. She also addresses themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and fertility stress when these come up in sessions.
People can expect a direct, straightforward counselling style that focuses on understanding what is happening and taking practical steps forward. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the site booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.
Working online with psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences shape present feelings and behaviour; it helps people spot repeating patterns that affect current relationships and mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing painful or frightening events so they cause less distress in day-to-day life. Internal Family Systems invites clients to notice different internal parts - for example critical, fearful or protective parts - and to help those parts relate differently to one another.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will collaborate with the client to try different ways of working. That planning helps match practical steps and therapeutic ideas to each person’s needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some kinds of therapeutic work, such as processing memories or practising coping techniques, easier to schedule around daily life. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online sessions to support continuity of care and to make therapy more accessible.
