Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova is a BACP accredited Psychosynthesis therapist who combines practical, here-and-now problem solving with a deeper exploration of what is trying to emerge in a person's life. She frames therapy as a collaborative relationship designed to help clients move toward greater authenticity and psychological freedom by uncovering what has been neglected and what matters most to them. Her practice attends both to immediate challenges and to longer-term patterns that have shaped how clients show up in the world and their capacity for fulfillment.

Claudia welcomes people from all backgrounds and offers a supportive space for those who need to unburden what they are carrying or who are tired of pretending everything is fine. She works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and immigration-related concerns.

She co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training and dedicates time to volunteering with organisations offering emotional support to people affected by Covid-19 and to vulnerable young adults. Claudia is about to complete a certification in Integrative Transpersonal Supervision and also supports clinicians in their work. Before training in therapy, she worked across media and communications for nearly two decades, including roles in the music and performing industries and in education. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating professional accreditation and adherence to recognised standards of practice.
