Claudia Canova

Claudia Canova works from a Psychosynthesis framework, combining practical, present-focused problem solving with attention to what is trying to emerge in a person’s life and how past experiences have shaped their potential for fulfilment.

She believes that therapy is, first and foremost, a relationship that should support each person in becoming more of who they are. Claudia sees the therapeutic journey as a path toward greater authenticity and psychological freedom, and she encourages exploration of what matters most as well as what has been neglected.

Whoever seeks her support is welcome - whether they need a place to unburden themselves or are tired of pretending everything is fine. She works with clients to identify sources of pain, trace their origins, and understand how these issues affect daily life. Claudia aims to offer an accepting space for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family and parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Claudia is BACP accredited as a Psychosynthesis therapist and co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training. She is about to complete certification in Integrative Transpersonal Supervision and is also supporting clinicians in their work. In addition, she volunteers with organisations that provided emotional support to those affected by Covid19 and works with vulnerable young adults.

Before training as a therapist, Claudia had a varied career. She spent nearly two decades working in media and communications, was involved in the music and performing industry, and worked for a few years in education. She brings four years of clinical experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.
