About Claire
Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, compassionate way and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of someone to listen. Claire supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse.
She also helps with concerns related to neurodiversity, body image, chronic illness and caregiving strain among other challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be a calm space for honest conversation and practical next steps. Her work draws mainly on psychodynamic psychotherapy, which looks at how past experiences and early relationships affect current patterns and self-view. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals and make practical changes.
Claire describes her style as collaborative and non-judgemental. She pays attention to the therapeutic relationship and encourages people to set the pace and direction of their work. Trauma-informed principles guide how she approaches sensitive material.
People who choose Claire can expect a straightforward, human approach that balances understanding with action. The aim is to build trust, identify small steps forward and help people manage the day-to-day impact of their concerns.
Approaches online and how they can help
Psychodynamic psychotherapy looks at how past relationships and life events shape current feelings and behaviour. It can help people notice repeating patterns, understand why they react a certain way and develop a kinder relationship with themselves.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in thinking and behaviour. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression and stress by building practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The plan can change as the relationship grows and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
