Claudia Faulkner-Walsh

Claudia Faulkner-Walsh is a counsellor using Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to support people through difficult life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and works from a compassionate, non-judgemental stance. Claudia aims to make it easier to talk about things that feel heavy or stuck. Claudia has seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief and challenges around intimacy. Her work includes issues such as parenting stress, sleeping problems, ADHD concerns and questions about life purpose. In sessions she encourages honest conversation about feelings and needs. The room is used to reflect on what matters to the client and to test out new ways of relating. Practical steps are woven into the talking so people can try changes between sessions. Claudia also works with people dealing with blended family issues, communication problems and the emotional impact of separation and divorce. She pays attention to cultural background, prejudice and identity as these affect relationships and wellbeing. She describes starting therapy as a brave step and aims to support people in finding clearer direction. The focus is on collaboration, listening and helping clients build skills they can use in everyday life.

How Claudia's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and understood; it helps people make sense of their feelings and choose their next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people understand and shift those patterns to improve connection and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that match those aims. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. It also makes it simpler to have shorter check-ins when time is tight, or to use audio-only options if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide how to structure sessions so they fit day-to-day routines and therapeutic goals.
