About Claire

Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist who has been practising for four years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing someone to talk to. Claire listens carefully and responds with warmth and respect.

Her aim is to help people make steady progress toward clearer thinking and kinder self‑relation. Claire mainly draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people understand current feelings and repeating patterns.

Background and approach

This approach looks at how past experiences shape present behaviour and relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of coping. Solution‑focused techniques are used for practical goal setting and making small, achievable changes between sessions.

Claire describes herself as trauma‑informed and will work carefully around distressing memories and reactions. The therapy style is collaborative - she helps people set goals and chooses methods that fit their preferences. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language.

Claire helps people talk through anxiety, depression, grief, stress and relationship worries, and offers support around neurodiversity, chronic illness, caregiver strain and body image concerns. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment patterns when these affect current struggles. Work with Claire can include exploring difficult feelings, trying behavioural experiments, and setting practical steps to manage problems.

Her focus is on building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and can take the next steps they want.

How Claire’s approaches work online

Claire draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. This often involves talking through relationships and reactions to find new self‑awareness and different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It is practical and works well for problem solving and developing coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions may start with conversational psychodynamic work and include CBT or solution‑focused tasks when specific strategies are needed. She helps people review what’s working and adjusts the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial expressions and maintain a conversational rhythm similar to face‑to‑face work. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or to offer a quicker check‑in. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, paced reflection between sessions, or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and build steady progress over time.
