Claudia Canova

Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor who combines psychodynamic ideas with psychosynthesis practices. She builds a relationship that aims to help people become more authentic and reduce what holds them back. Claudia writes plainly and values practical steps alongside deeper exploration. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and speaks English.

Claudia blends here-and-now problem solving with attention to what is trying to emerge in a person's life. Sessions look at what causes pain, where it comes from, and how it affects daily functioning. The work can involve exploring past experiences alongside current patterns to make space for different choices.

Her background includes nearly two decades in media and communications, time in the music and performing industries, and some years in education. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training. This mix informs a practical and creative approach to clinical work.

Claudia has four years of clinical experience and is involved in voluntary emotional support services. She has supported people affected by Covid-19 and has worked with vulnerable young adults. These roles have shaped her focus on accessible, down-to-earth support.

People come to Claudia for a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, codependency, communication and family of origin issues.

How Claudia's approaches work online

Claudia uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. This can help with trust issues, intimacy-related concerns and patterns that repeat in adult life.

She also works in a Client-Centred way, offering a space where the person leads the pace and focus. That approach supports people who need to be heard and accepted while they work through stress, depression or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss goals, life circumstances and what feels useful, then adjust the mix of approaches so therapy fits each person's needs. The process is collaborative and reviewed as things change.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need sessions that slot into a work break. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
