About Claudia

Claudia Castiglione works on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues using a collaborative approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Claudia works with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and problems with self-esteem. She also supports those facing addictive behaviours, career uncertainty and life transitions. Her practice includes help for people exploring sexual identity and LGBT matters, as well as concerns linked to eating, body image and parenting stress.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. She uses trauma-focused ways of working to address the effects of abuse or distressing events. Internal Family Systems is another strand she uses to identify different parts of a person’s inner experience and how they interact.

Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings and finding clearer ways to cope day to day. Claudia encourages clients to reflect on their relationships and on patterns that repeat. She offers practical discussion and supports people to explore options and small changes.

Claudia has worked in the UK for four years and brings that experience to a range of concerns including bipolar-related challenges, ADHD, and complex grief. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, people are asked to use the site matching process and book an initial appointment.

How Claudia uses psychodynamic and trauma approaches online

Psychodynamic therapy helps people notice how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour; online sessions can be used to talk through repeating patterns and gain clearer self-understanding. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of distressing events and aims to reduce their ongoing impact by working through memories and responses. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner life and how they relate, helping people to understand conflicting thoughts and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and what feels manageable. She checks in about preferences and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it practical for regular appointments and for continuing therapy when circumstances change.
