About Claire

Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years' experience supporting people through difficult times. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. Claire works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse concerns.

She uses a warm, collaborative style. Much of her work draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people understand how past patterns shape present feelings and behaviours.

Background and approach

That approach pays attention to how relationships - including the one you have with yourself - affect day-to-day life. Claire also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact, and solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps forward. She describes herself as trauma informed and adapts sessions to each person's needs.

Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual. Claire aims to build trust so clients can say what matters without judgement. She encourages clear goals and ongoing review so progress can be seen and adjusted as needed.

Claire works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People who are exploring neurodiversity-related concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment issues, loss, body image and other listed focus areas may find her approach helpful. The emphasis is on listening, understanding and practical support tailored to each person.

Ways of working Claire names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Claire’s approaches fit with online therapy

Claire uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of distressing events and memories, helping people to process what happened and reduce its hold on daily life. This approach focuses on understanding reactions and developing coping strategies for intrusive memories and strong emotions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to map the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to try out small changes that can ease anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for setting clear goals and practising new ways of responding to upsetting thoughts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will talk through your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit you best. You can try different ways of working and refine the plan as therapy progresses so it matches your needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and health needs while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping.
