About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor with four years' professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns. Claudia also helps with problems such as eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction, low self-esteem, career strain and the practical fallout of major life changes.
Claudia draws on Psychosynthesis alongside psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to help people notice patterns that shape their choices. Sessions mix practical problem-solving with attention to what a person wants to bring forward in life. She places importance on the relationship between counsellor and client as the main route to change.
Her background includes many years in media, communications and performing arts, plus some time in education. She volunteers with groups supporting those affected by Covid-19 and works with trainee counsellors at the Psychosynthesis Trust. That mix informs a direct, reflective style in session.
People who come to Claudia often want a space to stop pretending everything is fine. She listens for where pain shows up and looks at its impact on daily life. Together with the client she considers what can be changed now and what deeper shifts might be possible over time.
Claudia welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and supports people with immigration and family of origin issues, feelings of isolation, abandonment concerns and difficulties around commitment and intimacy. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shaped current ways of connecting. Online sessions can help people notice patterns around trust, closeness and separation and try different ways of relating. Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, supporting clearer self-understanding and decisions.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Claudia will talk with each person about their goals, background and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasise present-day problem solving, deeper psychodynamic enquiry, or exploration of identity and meaning.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule a short check-in between other commitments or to meet when relocation or travel would otherwise interrupt care. Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep therapy consistent while tailoring the pace and focus to the person's life.
