About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor practising psychosynthesis with four years of experience in therapeutic work in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and codependency among other concerns. Claudia also supports people with issues around identity, intimacy and addictions and welcomes people from LGBT backgrounds.
Claudia foregrounds the therapeutic relationship as the core of her work. She combines present-moment problem solving with attention to what is trying to emerge in a person’s life. Sessions look at how past patterns shape current choices, and what gets in the way of feeling more authentic.
Her background includes nearly two decades in media, communications and the performing industries, plus time in education. Claudia also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers with organisations supporting people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.
In practice she invites practical conversation about day-to-day impact. This can include looking at boundaries, communication problems, family of origin issues, abandonment and feelings of emptiness. The aim is clearer understanding and practical next steps the client can try between sessions.
Claudia offers an open, nonjudgemental way of working for adults exploring their emotional life. She accepts people who live in the United Kingdom and also takes international clients. Sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In practice this means talking about patterns of trust, separation and closeness, and how those patterns affect boundaries and codependent behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. Sessions are paced around the client’s needs, helping people make sense of feelings and decide what to try differently in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the way she works as those goals change. This is a collaborative process where client and counsellor review what helps and what needs to shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, such as shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. Online work also lets conversations continue when geography or life changes make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt psychodynamic and attachment-informed work to remote sessions, focusing on practical steps, boundary-setting and coping strategies that can be tried between meetings.
