Claudia Castiglione, BACP

Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and trauma-informed ideas to help people understand repeating patterns in their lives. She holds BACP registration and has worked professionally for four years in the United Kingdom. Claudia focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and trauma, and the emotional effects of stress and depression.

She begins by listening to each person's story and naming strengths they already have. Sessions look at how past experiences shape current reactions. This helps people make different choices and feel more connected to themselves.

Claudia draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when painful events affect daily life. That approach helps people reduce the hold of distressing memories and learn new ways of coping. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different feelings and parts of themselves.

Her work is straightforward and supportive. She helps people talk through relationship struggles, issues around intimacy, and problems like anxiety, low self-esteem, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with grief, eating concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and career stress.

Claudia encourages small, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. She invites clients to set goals and to check progress as therapy continues. People who want to start are asked to use the site process to make an initial match and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Claudia's approaches translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early experiences and relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online conversations using this approach help people notice repeating patterns and make different choices in daily life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is aimed at reducing the impact of painful events. In an online setting that work involves safe, paced conversations to lessen distressing memories and build coping skills for everyday triggers.

Internal Family Systems helps people identify and understand different parts of themselves, such as critical voices or protective parts. This can be done through guided dialogue and reflection so people can hold conflicting feelings with more clarity.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as the work progresses. This keeps therapy collaborative and responsive to changing needs.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming formats lets you plan how therapy fits around work, family life or travel. Online sessions can make it easier to fit regular check-ins into a busy schedule, allow shorter updates when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on their therapeutic goals.
