About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic ideas alongside trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems to help people understand difficult patterns. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and draws on their strengths to support change. Claudia presents herself as encouraging and practical with a focus on building safer, steadier ways of relating to others.
Claudia has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has worked with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and problems tied to grief and loss. Her practice also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and intimacy-related challenges.
In sessions she helps people name recurring patterns that cause pain. She uses psychodynamic thinking to trace how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. Trauma-focused methods are used to address the impact of upsetting events and reduce their hold on daily life.
Internal Family Systems offers a way to work with inner parts that feel stuck or overwhelmed. Claudia aims to help people notice these parts and develop kinder ways to respond to them. The work is paced to the individual and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, healthier relationships, or help coping with life changes. Prospective clients are invited to take a small step and start the matching process to see if she is the right fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach give space to reflect on patterns that repeat in a person’s life and to talk through earlier experiences that still matter today.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of distressing events. In an online setting the focus is on helping people notice triggers, develop grounding strategies, and practise skills that lessen intrusive memories or intense emotional responses.
Internal Family Systems helps people identify different parts of themselves that hold beliefs or feelings. Online conversations can guide clients in recognising these parts, starting gentle dialogues between them, and experimenting with new responses outside sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods to fit the person’s pace and needs.
