Claudia Castiglione, BACP

Claudia Castiglione is a counsellor who works from a psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspective. She draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand inner parts and patterns. Claudia emphasises the client as the expert in their own story and aims to offer calm, practical support.

She has four years of UK-based professional experience and is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her credential. Claudia has helped people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related struggles. She also works with common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress and addictions.

In sessions she listens for the life events and internal responses that shape current problems. Conversations look at patterns in relationships and moments when old ways of coping stop working. Claudia will help people name feelings and notice which internal parts drive certain behaviours.

Her approach mixes longer-term exploration with practical steps people can try between meetings. That may include small experiments to test new responses, breathing or grounding techniques for difficult moments, and reflective work to understand painful memories.

Claudia supports work on areas such as self-esteem, body image, parenting concerns, sexuality and identity, and life transitions. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps people look at patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. It focuses on how earlier experiences shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for relationship strain, grief and long-standing mood concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and to build skills for managing strong emotions. It is helpful for people who have experienced abuse or overwhelming events and who want practical ways to feel steadier day to day.

Internal Family Systems describes how different parts inside a person can hold pain, protect, or react in ways that cause conflict. Working with these parts can clarify why people get stuck and open up kinder internal responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
