Claire Owers, BACP

Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. Claire also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and challenges linked to neurodiversity.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and grounded in a steady therapeutic relationship. Claire focuses on helping people feel heard and to make practical steps towards the changes they want.

Claire often draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people notice patterns in feelings and behaviour. This approach looks at how past experiences shape present relationships and the way someone relates to themselves. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and solution-focused ideas to build small, concrete changes.

She describes her practice as trauma-informed and pays attention to how distressing experiences affect the body and mind. In sessions she encourages clear, honest conversation and works at the client's pace. Claire aims to tailor the work to each person rather than following a fixed programme.

People choose Claire when they want a steady, empathic presence to think things through with. If someone feels stuck or overwhelmed, she helps clarify goals and explores realistic next steps. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her approach feels like a good fit for them before arranging sessions.

How Claire uses therapy approaches in online work

Claire commonly uses psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Psychodynamic work looks at repeated patterns in feelings and behaviour and helps people understand how past experiences shape current relationships and the way they treat themselves. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Claire will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then suggest ways of working that suit you. She aims to be flexible and to review the plan as therapy progresses so it stays useful and relevant.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from wherever is most convenient. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often adapt tools from psychodynamic and CBT work to suit remote sessions and personal goals.
