About Claudia

Claudia Canova is a counsellor and BACP accredited Psychosynthesis practitioner based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of clinical experience and a background in media, music and education to her therapeutic work. Claudia aims to build a trusting relationship that helps people feel more authentic and less weighed down by daily struggles.

Clients can expect a conversational, exploratory style. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on patterns that have shaped how someone shows up in life. Claudia listens for what has been neglected and helps people notice what might be trying to emerge for them.

Her sessions often balance practical problem-solving with deeper self-exploration. This means addressing immediate stressors while also looking at long-standing themes such as family of origin issues, abandonment, or codependency. She also supports people facing anxiety, panic, grief, depression, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Claudia has run workshops for counsellors in training at the Psychosynthesis Trust and volunteers with organisations offering emotional support, including services connected to Covid-19 relief and support for vulnerable young adults. Her prior careers in communication and the performing arts shape a warm and down-to-earth approach.

People who want a collaborative, reflective space may find her style helpful. She invites a steady pace and practical steps, while also making room for deeper personal meaning and growth.

How Claudia's approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships influence current worries and reactions. It can be helpful for people struggling with trust, abandonment, or relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering acceptance and steady attention so clients can find their own solutions and build self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will talk with clients about what feels useful and make adjustments as the work develops.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can still offer practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, which may suit different days or energy levels.
