Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a BACP-accredited Psychosynthesis therapist whose practice weaves together present-focused problem solving with a deeper exploration of what is trying to emerge in a person’s life. She emphasizes forming a therapeutic relationship that supports clients to become more authentic and to expand their psychological freedom. Claudia pays attention to how past experiences, family of origin, and life roles have shaped how someone shows up in the world and what may be blocking fuller expression and fulfillment.

She is about to complete certification in Integrative Transpersonal Supervision and also supports clinicians in their work, drawing on her experience co-facilitating workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training. Claudia also gives time to voluntary organisations offering emotional support to those affected by Covid19 and to vulnerable young adults, reflecting a commitment to community care and training.

Before training as a therapist she worked for nearly two decades in media and communications, spent time in the music and performing industry, and worked in education. That professional background informs her practical, accessible approach to issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and intimacy-related matters. Whoever seeks her support will find an accepting space to explore what causes pain, what has been neglected, and how to move toward greater clarity and possibility. (BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body.)

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Claudia Canova

Claudia blends approaches that invite exploration of relationships, meaning, and personal patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional needs - it can help with relationship difficulties, loneliness, and managing intense emotions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering nonjudgmental understanding so clients can explore their own priorities and build self-trust; this approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress. Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns and past influences on present behaviour, which can be useful when working with recurring relationship difficulties, family of origin issues, and deeper emotional wounds.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Claudia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work unfolds so the client feels involved in shaping the process.

Online therapy with Claudia is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity across locations, and access support when in-person sessions are impractical, while still engaging with a registered professional in focused, ongoing work.
