About Claudia
Counsellor Claudia Faulkner-Walsh is a BACP member with seven years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, and she supports people facing grief and life changes.
Claudia focuses on helping people talk through immediate problems and understand patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement and to help clients find their own solutions. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at how emotions affect close relationships and connection.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. Claudia helps people name feelings, try different ways of communicating, and make small changes that fit everyday life. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions when clients want clearer goals.
Her background includes work with issues commonly linked to family life - for example communication problems, blended family concerns, separation and parenting strain. Claudia also supports people with identity-related issues such as LGBT matters, multicultural concerns and coping with prejudice.
People can expect short-term and longer-term work depending on their goals. She will discuss what might help in early sessions and how to plan next steps. Claudia practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership.
How Claudia uses her approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client find their own answers. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, checks understanding and helps you notice what matters most. It is useful for stress, low mood and self-esteem issues.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional responses in close relationships. It helps people identify emotional patterns, express needs more clearly and change repeating conflicts. This approach is often used for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together you will try ways of working that suit your needs and adjust the plan as you go.
Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not detailed in the profile. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people attend from different time zones. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue work started in person or to reach people who live further away.
