About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of practice to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, loss and parenting challenges. She creates a warm, accepting space and aims to build a relationship that helps clients be more of who they truly are. Sessions are practical and grounded, while also leaving room to notice deeper long-term patterns.
Claudia blends Psychosynthesis ideas with psychodynamic and attachment perspectives. She pays attention to what is happening now and to the life experiences that shape how someone shows up.
Background and approach
This helps uncover recurring patterns around control, abandonment, communication and intimacy. Her background includes nearly two decades in media, music and education before moving into counselling. She also co-facilitates workshops for counsellors in training and volunteers with organisations supporting people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.
That mix of professional and volunteer work informs a pragmatic, humane style. Work in sessions can include talking through stressful situations, spotting repeating patterns, and trying new ways to respond. Claudia also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, self-esteem and career concerns.
Parents who are worn down by daily pressures may find focused, practical help to manage overwhelm. Claudia offers one-to-one online formats that fit a range of needs and schedules. She accepts international clients and works in English.
The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that suits the client.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and can be useful for intimacy and communication issues.Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and allows the client to lead the pace, which suits those needing space to process feelings like grief or shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist discusses your goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions, then adapts methods to suit your needs.
Online formats provide practical flexibility. Video calls enable a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when a quieter, lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflective writing or when people prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and allow continued support even when schedules change.
