Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a counsellor with four years' professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She frames therapy as a relationship that helps people become more of who they are. Sessions focus on what matters now and what has been put aside, aiming to reduce daily distress and open up new possibilities.

Her background includes long experience in media, communications, music and education before moving into counselling. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust and volunteers offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and to vulnerable young adults. These roles shape a practical, down-to-earth approach in her work.

Claudia combines short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of what a person needs to grow. She pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and in how people cope with stress, grief, anxiety and loss. This includes issues around intimacy, addiction, self-esteem and family of origin concerns.

Her style is accepting and inquisitive. She invites clients to talk about what causes pain and where it comes from. The emphasis is on clarity and discovering practical ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Claudia works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People who are navigating major life changes, relationship strain, identity concerns including LGBT matters, or persistent anxiety often choose to begin a conversation with her.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and coping. It helps people who notice repeating patterns in closeness, jealousy or trust issues to understand those patterns and try new ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the individual name what matters, which can ease anxiety, low self-esteem and confusion about life choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which combination of approaches fits best. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for a quicker check-in during a break. Some formats need less bandwidth or allow you to be off camera, which can help if you prefer quieter connections rather than video.
