About Claudia

BACP accredited counsellor with four years' experience. Claudia Canova works with stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma-related concerns, along with grief, depression, addictions and intimacy issues. She uses approaches such as Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Existential, Jungian and Psychodynamic therapies in her practice. Claudia practices in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.

Claudia describes therapy as a relationship that helps people become more of who they are. Sessions balance practical, here-and-now problem solving with exploration of what a person wants to express next. She pays attention to how past experiences have shaped current patterns and day-to-day difficulties.

Her background includes two decades in media and communications, work in the music and performing industry, and some years 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.

Claudia’s work often focuses on attachment and relational patterns, identity questions, and recovery from hurtful experiences. She names issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems as areas she explores with clients. Practical matters like sleep, eating, career stress and parenting strain are also part of her caseload.

In sessions she aims to help people identify sources of pain, notice how those patterns show up now, and consider different ways of responding. The emphasis is on developing greater authenticity and psychological freedom through a mix of reflection and practical steps.

How attachment and psychodynamic work adapt to remote sessions

Claudia uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This approach helps when connection, trust or patterns of relating are causing distress, and it focuses on changing those patterns through conversations about relational history.

She also draws on Psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to explore how past experiences and inner symbols influence current difficulties. These approaches are useful for people wanting to understand recurring themes, identity questions and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claudia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts the focus based on what you want to address.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are provided. Please confirm the available online formats before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep continuity and integrate therapy into everyday life.
