About Claudia

Claudia Canova is a counsellor with four years' experience who brings a relational, person-focused way of working to therapy. She is a BACP member and describes her practice as centred on forming a relationship that helps people become more authentic. People are invited to bring what matters most to them, including struggles with sleep and rest, stress, anxiety, grief or feeling stuck.

Claudia combines short-term problem solving with a deeper look at what is trying to emerge in someone’s life. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. Sessions focus on understanding how issues show up day to day and on small, practical steps that can help.

Her background includes many years in media, communications and the performing arts before moving into counselling and psychosynthesis work. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust and volunteers offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.

Claudia describes the therapeutic relationship as the main vehicle for change. She offers a welcoming space where people can offload, reflect and make changes at a pace that suits them. Topics she addresses include relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, eating and intimacy-related concerns.

She also supports people with family-of-origin issues, abandonment, codependency, immigration concerns and isolation. If someone would like to explore whether her approach fits their needs, they are encouraged to start with the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions using this approach tend to look at current connection patterns and where people feel stuck in close relationships.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps the person find their own way forward; this can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and confidence issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which blend of approaches fits best. That choice is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find online work easier for brief check-ins or for steady, weekly meetings that slot into their routine. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm available online or in-person options before booking so you can choose what suits your life.
