Claire Owers, BACP

Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of clinical experience. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Claire offers calm, non-judgemental care for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps.

She specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports people with issues connected to abandonment, attachment, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, cancer, and caregiver strain. Claire pays attention to how these concerns affect daily life and relationships.

Claire draws mainly from psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people understand patterns from the past and how they show up now. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work when these fit someone’s needs. Her style is warm and collaborative rather than directive.

Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship so conversations can be open and honest. Claire aims to help people make small practical changes alongside deeper understanding. She listens first, then works with each person to agree the next steps.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online therapy

Claire draws mainly from psychodynamic psychotherapy and also uses cognitive behavioural therapy in many sessions. Psychodynamic work helps people notice patterns that began earlier in life and how those patterns affect current feelings and relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing an approach happens together. Claire will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in the first meetings. She adapts the mix of exploration and practical tasks so the plan fits each person's needs and pace.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in where needed. It can also support deeper reflective sessions when people prefer to meet remotely. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective care via remote appointments when that suits a client’s life and goals.
