Claire Owers
Compassionate counsellor blending insight and practical tools
About Claire
Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Claire listens closely and responds with practical, straightforward support.
She specialises in stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. Claire also pays attention to challenges tied to abandonment, attachment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
These areas often overlap, and she helps people untangle what matters most to them. Claire draws mainly on psychodynamic therapy to help people notice patterns in feelings and behaviour, and to understand how past experiences can shape present life. She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and set achievable steps when that is helpful.
Trauma-focused work informs her way of practising when necessary. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Claire aims to make therapy a place to speak honestly, try things out, and test new ways of coping.
She emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. People can expect straightforward conversations and practical suggestions alongside reflective work about meanings and patterns. Claire supports people who want to make steady progress and who value combining insight with practical strategies.

How Claire’s approaches work online
Claire uses psychodynamic work to help people notice patterns in feelings and relationships. This approach looks at how past experiences influence current reactions and helps people understand long-standing habits and reactions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives simple strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process based on goals, concerns, and personal preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or suit lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter exchanges or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties, or mobility limits and let people choose how they prefer to communicate.
