Claudia Castiglione , BACP

Claudia Castiglione is licensed to practice in the United Kingdom and holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With three years of clinical experience, she focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns.

Claudia approaches each person as the expert of their own life story, looking to uncover and build on the strengths clients already possess. She believes that seeking change requires courage and that small steps can lead to more fulfilling and happier lives. Her role is to accompany clients through that process, offering support and encouragement while helping them explore options and possibilities.

In sessions Claudia aims to create a respectful, collaborative atmosphere where people feel heard and empowered to work toward their goals. She invites clients to bring their experiences and priorities to the forefront so therapy can be tailored to their needs and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and recurring patterns influence current feelings and relationships. It helps people unpack long-standing dynamics that show up in how they connect with others and manage emotions.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic events and reducing their ongoing effects on day-to-day life. This approach is often used for those recovering from abuse or other significant traumatic experiences and aims to help people find relief and greater emotional stability.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people recognize and work with different parts of themselves - for example an anxious part, an angry part, or a protective part - so they can relate to those parts with understanding and build internal balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudia will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and tailor a plan that can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options help people connect with licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
