About Claire
Claire Owers is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with four years' experience supporting people through difficult times. She works with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, grief and trauma. Claire also helps people with neurodiversity-related challenges and life transitions. She aims to listen without judgement and to offer steady support during change.
Claire’s core approach is psychodynamic psychotherapy, which looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships. She uses this to help clients understand patterns of behaviour and the relationship they have with themselves. Claire also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Solution-focused methods are used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work that builds on existing strengths. Claire describes her practice as trauma-informed and attentive to how distress affects thinking and relationships. Sessions are tailored to each person’s priorities rather than following a fixed path.
She places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and aims to create a warm, respectful space for honest conversation. Claire invites people to take their time finding the right therapist, and she collaborates with clients to set clear, realistic goals. Her style is straightforward, compassionate and practical.
Claire works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She supports people coping with a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, caregiving stress, attachment and control issues, body image and dissociation.
How Claire’s approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps you see how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. It involves talking about repeated patterns and how they affect your mood and interactions, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship strain and grief.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. It uses practical exercises and clear steps to reduce anxiety or low mood and is often used alongside other approaches.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods suit you best. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the focus as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking since the profile does not list them. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during work breaks. Others prefer longer sessions to explore patterns in depth. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and needs so practical arrangements support your aims in therapy.
