Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a BACP accredited Psychosynthesis therapist who blends practical problem solving with deeper exploration of what is trying to emerge in a person’s life. She is about to complete her certification in Integrative Transpersonal Supervision and currently supports clinicians in their professional work. Claudia frames therapy as a supportive relationship aimed at helping clients become more authentic and experience greater psychological freedom. Her Psychosynthesis-informed approach pays attention to the here-and-now while also exploring how past experiences and patterns have shaped a person’s expression of potential and fulfillment.

Clients are invited to bring whatever they are carrying - whether they need a place to offload, to stop pretending everything is fine, or to examine sources of ongoing pain. Claudia works collaboratively to identify where difficulties originate and how they affect daily life, offering a welcoming space for people from diverse backgrounds. She co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers with organisations offering emotional support to those affected by Covid19 and to vulnerable young adults.

Before training as a therapist, Claudia had varied careers across media and communications for nearly two decades, including work in the music and performing industries and a period in education. These experiences inform her empathetic and practical style as she supports clients through stress, relationships, trauma, grief, depression, identity questions, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Claudia draws on client-centered therapy, attachment-based ideas, and existential perspectives to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the therapist offering empathy, acceptance, and nonjudgmental listening so clients feel supported to explore their values and goals - it is useful for building self-esteem, coping with life changes, and relationship challenges. Attachment-based approaches examine patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current intimacy, trust, and communication; this can help with abandonment, codependency, and relational difficulties. Existential therapy invites reflection on meaning, freedom, and responsibility, helping people face emptiness, major transitions, or questions about purpose with greater clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the focus as understanding deepens and priorities shift. The aim is to co-create a path that feels helpful and relevant.

Online therapy with Claudia is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy or changing lives. These options help people access consistent support from wherever they are, allowing work to continue across time zones and life circumstances with the same therapeutic attention they would expect from in-person care.
