Claudia Canova
Compassionate counsellor helping people find authenticity
About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a counsellor who blends relational work with personal exploration. She draws on four years of practice and a BACP credential to support people aiming to live more authentically. Claudia creates a straightforward, compassionate space where clients can talk about what hurts and what matters to them.
Claudia places the relationship at the centre of therapy. She helps people look at day-to-day problems and also at what feels missing in life.
Background and approach
Sessions often move between practical problem solving and deeper reflection on patterns and identity. This lets clients address immediate issues while exploring longer term change. Her background includes time in media, the music and performing industries, and education.
Those varied roles shaped a flexible, down-to-earth approach to conversations about work, meaning and creativity. Claudia also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training. She has volunteered with organisations supporting people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.
That work informs her interest in grief, trauma and stress, and in offering non-judgemental support for people from diverse backgrounds. In sessions Claudia listens for relationship patterns, family of origin issues, and how early experiences affect current feelings. She also helps people with anxiety, depression, addictions, intimacy and career concerns.
Practical steps and clearer self-understanding are typical outcomes of working together.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and trust. Online sessions can help people notice repeated patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person find their own answers. In remote sessions this often means the counsellor reflects back what matters to the client and supports clearer self-understanding and decisions. Claudia will work collaboratively to choose or adapt approaches that fit a person’s needs and goals. She discusses options with clients and adjusts the focus as things change, so finding the right approach is part of the work together. Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, people who prefer writing, or clients who want regular support without scheduling every time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can still offer deep reflective work and practical problem solving through these different ways of meeting.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
