About Claudia

Claudia Canova is a counsellor who brings four years of clinical experience and a BACP affiliation to her work. She aims to build a dependable therapeutic relationship that helps people become more of who they are. Sessions focus on practical concerns now while also noticing deeper patterns that shape life choices and feelings.

Claudia uses a blend of psychodynamic and psychosynthesis ideas to understand how past experiences affect present behaviour.

Background and approach

She pays attention to what has been neglected in a person’s life and to emerging possibilities people may not have noticed. This helps when someone feels stuck, empty or unable to move forward. People come to her for many concerns, including anxiety, stress, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions and self-esteem problems.

She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career decisions, sleep or eating difficulties, and feelings of isolation or shame. Claudia’s background includes almost twenty years in media and communications, work in music and performance, and experience in education. She also volunteers with organisations offering emotional support and co-facilitates workshops for counsellors in training at the Psychosynthesis Trust.

Her style is warm and direct. She listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people try new ways of coping. Sessions are aimed at making daily life feel more manageable while opening space for longer-term growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help when someone struggles with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. The therapist follows the client's pace, offering empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and explore their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit you. That process is collaborative and can shift as your therapy progresses.

Online sessions can happen by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video works well for face-to-face interaction, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or when typing helps expression. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or long distances while keeping therapy accessible.
