Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a counsellor who blends practical problem solving with deeper personal exploration. She is BACP accredited, and she frames therapy as a relationship that helps people become more of who they are. Her work focuses on what matters to someone now and what parts of their life have been neglected or damaged over time.

Claudia uses a Psychosynthesis-informed approach, bringing attention to present difficulties while also tracking what is trying to emerge in a person's life. Sessions often look at patterns of relating, past events that shape the present, and ways to open up new possibilities for fulfilment. She aims to help clients recognise how their life story affects daily experience and choices.

Her background includes nearly two decades in media and communications, time in the performing arts, and experience in education. Claudia also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers with organisations offering emotional support to those affected by Covid19 and vulnerable young adults. This varied career path informs a practical and curious style in therapy.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, from stress and anxiety to grief, relationship strain, and midlife transitions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction patterns, self-esteem issues and isolation. Claudia aims to create a welcoming space where people can offload, reflect and make changes that matter.

Her sessions invite honest reflection and steady pacing. She works with each person to identify small, realistic steps alongside deeper exploration, helping them build clearer choices in work, relationships and self-understanding.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Claudia draws on Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic ideas alongside Client-Centred ways of working. Attachment-Based thinking looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps with issues in connection and trust. Psychodynamic approaches pay attention to recurring themes and unconscious patterns that show up in day-to-day life and relationships. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, empathy and meeting a person where they are to support clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia collaborates with each person to decide which elements to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can blend careful listening, exploration of life stories and practical problem solving depending on what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time.

Claudia aims to make therapy fit into everyday routines while helping people address issues such as midlife change, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.
