About Claudia

Claudia Canova works on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family concerns and intimacy-related issues using a Psychosynthesis-informed approach. She is BACP accredited and has four years' experience as a counsellor in the UK.

Claudia creates a consistent therapeutic relationship and focuses on helping people become more authentic. She blends here-and-now problem solving with attention to what is emerging in a person's life. Sessions look at patterns from the past and how these affect day-to-day living now.

Her background includes almost two decades in media and communications, time in the music and performing industries, and work in education. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training. Claudia volunteers with organisations offering emotional support to those affected by Covid-19 and supports vulnerable young adults.

In practical terms she listens for what is causing pain and where it comes from. Conversations explore impact on daily routines, relationships and work. She pays attention to issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and immigration-related concerns.

Claudia works in English and accepts international clients. Her counselling combines psychodynamic and Jungian ideas with attachment-based thinking to look at patterns and meaning. People considering sessions are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Claudia draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help when anxiety, relationship problems or abandonment issues recur. Client-centred elements mean sessions focus on the client's experience in the moment, with the counsellor listening to what matters now and supporting personal exploration. Psychodynamic and Jungian influences look at recurring patterns and personal meaning, useful for issues such as grief, emptiness or family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss how different methods might suit the client and decide together which to prioritise based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in during a busy day. Different formats can also be useful for people who prefer not to use video, need a shorter check-in, or have lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to maintain continuity of care, and Claudia can discuss which arrangement best fits practical needs when arranging a first meeting.
