About Claudia
Claudia Canova is a counsellor who combines relational work with exploration of personal meaning. She uses talk and reflection to help people untangle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship pain. Claudia aims to build a dependable working relationship that helps people feel heard and understood.
Claudia blends practical problem-solving with deeper exploration of what is trying to emerge in a person’s life. She pays attention to how someone has been in the world and what has shaped their sense of self.
Background and approach
That approach can help when people are coping with grief, trauma, addictions or struggles with self-esteem. Her background includes nearly two decades in media and communications, time in education, and experience in the music and performing industries. She also contributes to training for counsellors and volunteers offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.
Claudia holds BACP accreditation which she lists as part of her professional profile. Sessions typically focus on understanding the source of distress and on small, manageable steps that change day-to-day life. Conversations may cover parenting pressures, career worries, sleep and eating problems, or feelings of isolation and emptiness.
The tone is direct but warm, with attention to what a person needs right now. Claudia welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and sexualities. She offers both short-term practical help and longer conversations about personal meaning, depending on what someone wants to work on.
Her style suits people who value honest dialogue and a thoughtful, relational approach.

Online support
She also works from a client-centred perspective, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where a person leads the conversation. That style supports people who need to offload strong emotions, gain clarity, or rebuild self-esteem by being heard and accepted.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Claudia will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits the client's goals and preferences. The choice of focus can shift over time as needs change, and she encourages a collaborative process.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face dialogue and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel, and let a person choose the format that best supports ongoing, accessible care.
