About me
Hello, I'm Claudia, a qualified transpersonal Psychotherapist based in Bounds Green, London. Specialising in individual and couples therapy, my approach is founded on warmth, authenticity, and a keen focus on interpersonal relationships.
I utilise Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) framework in my couples therapy practice, offering structured yet empathetic guidance to help you achieve a balanced, healthier relationship. I am particularly interested in the role that interpersonal connections play in overall well-being.
A good relationship can serve as a cornerstone for a fulfilling, happier life, and I specialise in addressing challenges that hinder such connections, including codependency, attachment styles, and love addiction. In addition to my broad client base, I possess specific expertise in serving individuals from creative and academic backgrounds, such as those in the fields of fashion, music, media, and academia.
If you're facing relational challenges or simply seeking to enhance the quality of your interpersonal relationships, I am here to provide expert, tailored support. Let's explore how we can build a better emotional future together.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
