Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a BACP counsellor practising psychosynthesis with four years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and anger. Claudia also focuses on self-esteem, intimacy and challenges related to family of origin and parenting.

She describes therapy as a relationship that helps people become more of who they are. Sessions combine here-and-now problem solving with looking at patterns that have shaped how someone shows up in life. That mix is aimed at helping people notice what matters and what has been neglected.

Claudia brings a varied background into her work. Before counselling she spent many years in media, communication and the performing industry, and also taught for a period. She co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and volunteers with services offering emotional support to those affected by Covid-19 and with vulnerable young adults.

In practice she listens for what causes pain, where it comes from, and how it affects daily life. Conversations may cover abandonment, control issues, codependency, commitment concerns, or feelings of emptiness. Clients can expect a straightforward focus on practical problems alongside exploration of deeper patterns.

Claudia offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She uses her psychosynthesis approach to support people dealing with career strain, sleep and eating concerns, isolation and the practical pressures that feed anger and resentment.
