About Claudia

Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She centres the work on building a dependable relationship that helps people stop pretending everything is fine and begin to face what is causing them pain. Her sessions aim to help people become more themselves and find clearer direction in day-to-day life.

Claudia mixes practical problem-solving with deeper exploration of what wants to emerge in a person’s life.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how past experiences, relationships and identity shape current reactions. This approach can help people understand where patterns come from and try different ways of being. Her background includes many years in media, communications and the performing arts, plus some work in education.

She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers offering emotional support to those affected by Covid-19 and to vulnerable young adults. Claudia works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship struggles, as well as trauma and abuse and issues linked to identity and belonging.

She also helps with addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and career questions. People meet Claudia expecting a warm, accepting space and a conversational style. Sessions focus on what is happening now, where pain comes from, and small, practical steps that fit each person’s life.

She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and offers sessions in English.

Ways of working Claudia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches you can work with online

Claudia uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people look at the impact of traumatic events on daily life. This approach helps identify how past hurts keep influencing feelings, thinking and behaviour, and then supports practical ways to reduce that impact.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on how early relationships affect current closeness and trust. That work helps people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to match the approach to what feels most helpful, not to use a single method for everyone.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule around work, travel or busy family life while keeping therapy accessible.
