Claudia Castiglione , BACP

Claudia Castiglione is a UK-based therapist who works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. She approaches therapy with the view that clients are the experts of their own stories, and she helps them identify and use their existing strengths to navigate challenges and pursue a more fulfilling life. Claudia understands that reaching out for support takes courage, and she aims to provide steady encouragement and practical guidance as clients take the first steps toward change.

She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a respectful, empathic stance to each session. Claudia focuses on empowering clients rather than directing them, working collaboratively to set goals and explore patterns that may be getting in the way of wellbeing. Her style emphasizes listening, validation, and supporting clients to build resilience and clearer direction as they move through difficult moments.

Claudia is accepting new clients and offers a compassionate partnership for those ready to explore relationships, past hurts, loss, or intimacy concerns. She seeks to create a space where clients can reflect, regain agency, and progress at a pace that feels right for them.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Claudia draws on psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore how past experiences and early relationships influence current feelings, behaviors, and relationship patterns. This approach is useful for people who want to uncover underlying themes and gain deeper self-understanding.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences through focused interventions that aim to reduce distress and help clients process painful memories in manageable ways. This approach supports those coping with abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.

Claudia incorporates Internal Family Systems to help clients identify and dialogue with different parts of themselves - for example inner critics, protectors, or wounded parts - so they can develop more compassionate internal relationships and clearer choices. This method often helps with issues like shame, self-esteem, and complex emotional responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from where clients feel most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective, client-centered support.
