About Claudia

Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice. She focuses on building a therapeutic relationship that helps people become more authentic and less burdened by what holds them back. Claudia offers a welcoming space for anyone who needs to talk, loosen the pressure of daily life, or stop pretending everything is fine.

Her approach blends practical problem solving with deeper exploration of what wants to emerge in a person’s life. Sessions look at how past experiences shape present patterns and what gets in the way of fulfilment. This includes attention to relationships, loss, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and the upheaval around separation and divorce.

Claudia brings varied life experience to her work, including nearly two decades in media, the music and performing industries, and time in education. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.

In sessions she aims for clear, honest conversation. She helps people identify where pain is coming from and how it affects day-to-day life. Practical steps and reflective work are mixed so clients leave with ideas they can try between meetings.

She works in English and accepts international clients. Her practice is in the United Kingdom and she holds BACP accreditation, listed as BACP.

How Claudia’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape the way people connect now. It helps with anxiety, relationship difficulties and the aftermath of separation by focusing on patterns in relating and emotional safety.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the pace the client sets, which can help when someone needs to talk through confusing feelings or decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss different ways of working and help choose what fits a person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking since these are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also mean choosing sessions that match practical needs such as lower bandwidth or audio-only conversations. Confirm the exact options and scheduling when you set up your first appointment.
