Claudia Behnke (She/Her)

I am a Psychotherapist accredited with the UKCP, holding a Masters in Psychosynthesis Psychology. Having spent two decades in the UK after relocating from Germany, I bring a unique blend of cross-cultural understanding to my practice. At the core of my approach is a warm, authentic, and relationship-centered philosophy. I strongly believe that the quality of our interpersonal connections can greatly influence our overall well-being, leading us towards a healthier, more fulfilled life. In addition to individual therapy, I extend my practice to couples, applying Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) framework. This evidence-based model allows me to offer structured guidance aimed at navigating the complexities of romantic relationships, helping couples achieve balance and mutual respect. Therapy, when properly utilized, can equip you with the self-mastery and relief you seek, no matter the personal challenges you face. Informed by Psychosynthesis—a form of Transpersonal Psychology commonly described as 'soul work'—my sessions aim to integrate all facets of your being: emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual. This enables you to reconcile with your past, connect with your true self, and unlock your full potential. Psychosynthesis shows us who and what we truly are. As light falling upon a bud can cause it to unfurl, the work done in a psychosynthetic context is capable of bringing remarkable and transformative change. If you're considering therapy, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss how I can support you and to address any initial questions you may have. This session provides an opportunity to learn more about my therapeutic approach, as well as the therapeutic process in general, helping you determine if I'm the right fit for your needs. Please contact me to arrange a time that suits both of us for this consultation. I strive to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours.
