Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of clinical experience and a broad life background to her practice. She aims to build a steady, honest relationship with each person she meets. Sessions are a place to speak plainly about what is hurting and to explore what might be missing in life. Claudia blends problem-focused work with deeper exploration of meaning and identity. She pays attention to day-to-day struggles like sleep, anxiety, parenting strain, or workplace pressure. At the same time she looks at how past experiences shape current patterns and relationships. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. People are invited to talk about grief, trauma, addiction, eating or intimacy concerns without shame. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and coping with life changes. Claudia draws on approaches that examine attachments, personal meaning, and unconscious themes. That means sessions can include practical steps for immediate relief alongside conversations about long-standing patterns and values. The work aims to increase self-understanding and more authentic choices. She has worked in media, music and education before moving into counselling, and contributes to training workshops for other counsellors. Claudia also volunteers with organisations offering emotional support to people affected by Covid19 and with vulnerable young adults.

How Claudia's approaches work online

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early bonds influence present relationships and emotion. Online sessions can help identify attachment patterns that affect trust, intimacy and everyday conflict, and support learning new ways of relating.

Client-Centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the room. The therapist listens without judging and helps people find their own answers, which suits concerns like low self-esteem, grief, or life direction.

Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas look at recurring life patterns and deeper themes that show up across relationships. In conversation the therapist may gently point out patterns and symbols that explain why certain problems keep returning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process means the shape of therapy can change as needs evolve.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, emotional processing between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking.
