About Claudia
Claudia Castiglione offers a psychodynamic-informed approach to therapy. She draws on Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help people understand the roots of their difficulties and build safer ways of relating. Claudia holds BACP registration and works from the United Kingdom.
She listens for patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. That can help when anxiety, depression or problems with intimacy keep coming back. Claudia aims to make sense of past experiences so they stop driving present choices.
How Claudia works
Sessions are straightforward and focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Claudia has four years of professional experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain and stress. She also helps with eating concerns, addiction, bipolar mood issues, ADHD and self-esteem struggles.
Additional areas explored include attachment wounds, body image, codependency and questions around sexual identity and kink culture. Her practical style includes listening, reflecting and helping people name difficult feelings. She helps clients spot patterns, try new responses and build small routines that feel manageable.
Work can include looking at painful memories, mapping internal parts or focusing on day-to-day coping skills. Claudia accepts people from the UK and international locations and offers sessions in English. People who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging can arrange a format that suits their life and schedule.

Online support options
Approach-led online therapy for emotional healing
Claudia uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships shape present feelings and behaviours, helping people identify the repeating patterns behind their struggles. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when painful events need careful attention, with a focus on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic memories. Internal Family Systems helps people map the different inner parts that hold emotions or beliefs so they can relate to those parts with more care and curiosity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will explore a person's goals, history and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is shared, and the approach can shift as needs change during therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical choice. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face connection, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or simpler check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit short daily check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
