About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of professional practice to her work. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn out by life. Claudia offers a welcoming space where people can speak openly and begin to untangle what is causing them pain.
Claudia builds therapy around a genuine relationship. She combines hands-on problem solving for day-to-day struggles with attention to what wants to emerge in a person’s life.
Background and approach
Sessions look at how past experiences shape current behaviour and how small changes can free up more authentic choices. Her background includes many careers before psychotherapy, including media, music and education. That variety influences a practical, down-to-earth style and an ability to relate to different life paths.
She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust and volunteers offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and to vulnerable young adults. People come to Claudia for a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, and career questions.
She also gives attention to deeper patterns like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Therapy with Claudia is collaborative. She listens, reflects, and helps people try out new ways of being.
The emphasis is on practical steps that fit a person’s life while also exploring what would bring more meaning and fulfilment.
