About Claire
Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. Her approach focuses on listening first and building a trusting relationship with each person.
Claire specialises in anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse. She also supports concerns linked to neurodiversity, attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and pain, body image, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
She helps people talk through what is happening now and what they want to change. Her clinical work draws mainly from psychodynamic psychotherapy, which looks at patterns in feelings and behaviour and how these shape relationships with others and the self. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused methods to set practical, manageable steps.
Claire describes her style as warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Sessions are built around the individual's needs and goals. She aims to create a space where people can speak openly without judgement and begin to make small, meaningful changes.
People can expect a clear, steady process rather than quick fixes. Claire helps break down concerns into workable pieces, offers practical tools where helpful, and pays attention to the longer patterns that keep problems repeating. She welcomes conversations about what approach feels right for each person.
Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life
Psychodynamic therapy helps people spot recurring patterns in relationships and behaviour so they can understand why they feel or act a certain way. This method is useful for working through long-standing worries, attachment issues, and responses that keep returning.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies for anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Claire works with clients to decide which approach feels most helpful. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as goals evolve. She will talk through options and tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people type when that feels easier. These formats offer flexibility, reduce travel, and allow regular contact while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
