Claudia Behnke
Psychotherapist
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 specialize 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.
About me
Originally from Germany, and I've called the UK home for over 20 years. With a background in academia spanning the last decade, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my practice, helping both individuals and couples navigate the complexities of their lives and relationships.
I understand that life can be challenging, whether you're facing personal struggles or relationship issues. My approach is integrative, combining various therapeutic modalities to tailor our sessions to your specific needs. For individuals, I offer support with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. For couples, I provide a safe, empathetic space where both partners can feel heard and understood, helping to address communication issues, conflicts, and strengthening your bond.
My deep concern for the environment shapes my holistic perspective on well-being, encouraging clients to find balance and harmony not only within themselves and their relationships but also in their broader lives.
When I'm not working, you might find me exploring London's vibrant arts and culture scene—museums, theatre, and music are some of my greatest passions.
I believe that every individual and relationship has the potential to thrive, and I'm here to help you rediscover joy, balance, and connection. Let's work together to build a stronger, healthier you.
Feel free to reach out to schedule a session or to learn more about how I can support you.
My approach
Psychosynthesis, at its heart, is a psychology of hope. Psychosynthesis is also a psychology of Will, one that invites you to explore and transform whatever of gets in the way of a life more fully lived. To create a life that expresses more fully who you truly are, one that fulfills your hopes and dreams and is anchored in whatever holds meaning and value for you and. Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal psychology developed by Dr Roberto Assagioli, a contemporary and colleague of both Freud and Jung. Psychosynthesis acknowledges that as are all unique and individual souls on a journey through life, that we are more than our problems and our perceived failures and that at the deepest levels of our selves we are wise beings seeking to express our potential into the world. When you feel need for change, when things seem to be falling apart, when your inner and outer lives are out of rhythm, there may be a calling to seek deeper meaning and a new way to live. When we follow and respond to this natural inclination toward healing and growth, we are invited into our own well-being and a deeper sense of belonging, in our own lives and in the world around us. Psychosynthesis embraces all aspects of human experience, from the physical to the spiritual. My approach beings together a trust in the wisdom of the psyche and a care for the soul. It is grounded in transpersonal integrative theory and informed by Steven Levine's approach to the body as well as Robert Moss' approach to dream work and the creative imagination.
