About Claudia
Counsellor Claudia Canova is a BACP member with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and LGBT concerns among other issues. Sessions cover practical problems like sleep or eating, and longer-standing patterns such as attachment and family of origin issues.
Claudia blends Psychosynthesis with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas. She combines straightforward problem-solving for current difficulties with attention to what may be trying to emerge in a person's life. She looks at how life history has shaped ways of relating and patterns such as avoidance, codependency and control issues.
Her background includes nearly two decades in media and communications, time in the music and performing industry, and some work in education. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers supporting people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.
In sessions she focuses on relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. That can mean talking through recent worries, working on communication and commitment issues, or examining deeper themes like abandonment, guilt and shame. Practical coping skills for work, parenting and career concerns are also part of her work.
Claudia accepts international clients and conducts her practice from the United Kingdom. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.
Approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with anxiety around closeness, separation and codependency by examining how people form bonds and react to loss.Client-centred work focuses on being heard without judgement. It helps when someone needs to talk through present worries, make decisions, or build self-esteem through reflective listening and support.
Finding the right approach happens with the counsellor. Claudia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on immediate coping, relational patterns or deeper themes such as abandonment and shame.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into a busy life by avoiding travel, making it easier to schedule during work breaks or when caring responsibilities make travel difficult. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits the person better.
