About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of clinical experience and a varied professional background to her practice. She aims to build a trusting relationship that helps people become more of who they are. Claudia welcomes people who need a space to talk, unload worries, or stop pretending everything is fine.
Claudia works in a way that combines practical problem solving with a focus on what is emerging in a person's life. She pays attention to how past experiences shape day-to-day behaviour and feelings. Sessions often explore what matters most to the person and what has been neglected so far.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred ideas that put the person's experience at the heart of the work. She also uses Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic perspectives to understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Jungian and Existential strands inform deeper questions about meaning and identity.
Claudia has also been involved in training and supporting other counsellors, co-facilitating workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust. She has volunteered with organisations offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and has worked with vulnerable young adults.
Before counselling, Claudia spent many years in media, communications and the performing arts, and also worked in education. That varied career path informs a down-to-earth style and an ability to relate to different life situations.
How Claudia's approaches work in online therapy
Claudia draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises the person's own experience and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and seen, and supports steady progress through a respectful, non-directive stance. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current feelings. This can be useful for people struggling with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will explore your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit you best. She sees therapy as collaborative and adapts the focus as new issues or priorities emerge. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reducing travel time and helping you book sessions at times that work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or conversations without being on camera if that feels better. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can choose what fits your routine and comfort.Areas of expertise
