About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings four years of practice to conversations that can feel hard to begin. Claudia aims to build a steady, honest working relationship that supports people through difficult moments.
Her style is practical and exploratory. Sessions look at what is happening now and what patterns from the past still shape daily life.
Background and approach
She invites clients to notice what they value and what has been neglected, then works with them to bring those parts forward. Claudia blends Psychosynthesis ideas with psychodynamic and attachment-informed ways of working. That means she pays attention to personal history, relationships, and inner drives while also tackling immediate problems like sleep, eating, or overwhelming anxiety.
She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy problems, and challenges around identity and belonging. Her background includes nearly twenty years in media, the performing world and education, before moving into counselling. She also co-facilitates workshops for counsellors in training and volunteers with groups supporting people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.
This range of experience informs a down-to-earth approach. Claudia aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She helps people look at causes of pain, try new ways of coping, and take steps toward greater clarity and ease in day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Claudia draws on attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when anxiety or relationship problems come from long-standing ways of relating to others. She also uses client-centred principles which focus on listening closely and following the client's lead, useful when someone needs a safe space to talk things through and feel heard.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and deeper non-verbal exchange. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, while chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, ongoing notes, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy flexible and reachable for different routines and lifestyles.
