About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related issues among other concerns. Claudia also supports people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression and life changes.
Claudia works from a psychodynamic perspective that looks at patterns from the past and how they show up now. She uses trauma-focused work when events have left strong emotional reactions, and she brings Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves. Sessions aim to make difficult patterns clearer so people can try different responses.
In practical terms Claudia listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. She helps people name the thoughts and feelings that lead to snapping, avoidance or withdrawal. Then she helps them try small changes in how they think and behave, and notice what shifts.
Claudia also works with issues linked to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, body image and intimacy. She has experience supporting people with addictive behaviours, ADHD, parenting stress and career-related strain. Her approach mixes understanding emotional history with step-by-step coping strategies.
People who contact her can expect clear talk about what they want to change and practical steps to get there. She asks about goals and keeps sessions focused on realistic next moves. If someone wants to start, they follow the site process to match and book an initial session.
How sessions work
How Claudia's approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and early influences that affect how someone reacts today. Online sessions can help a person notice those patterns and try new responses to anger, relationship strain or low mood.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates directly on memories and reactions from distressing events. Delivered remotely, it can support people who carry strong emotional responses, helping them reduce overwhelm and gain clearer control over reactions.
Internal Family Systems treats difficult feelings as parts of a person that can be understood and negotiated with. In online sessions this approach helps people identify inner parts that fuel anger, shame or avoidance and practise kinder self-relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as understanding grows.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy from different locations, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements together.
