About Claire
Claire Owers is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP accreditation and has four years of practice supporting people through difficult life moments. Claire listens without judgement and aims to make sessions calm and straightforward for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and challenges linked to neurodiversity.
Background and approach
People come to her when they feel stuck, confused or simply need someone to talk things through. Claire’s style is warm and collaborative. She draws mainly on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people look at patterns in their feelings and relationships, and to understand how past experiences shape current reactions.
This can help people spot repeated habits and make different choices. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and find what works now. Claire describes herself as trauma-informed and adapts her approach to each person’s needs.
Sessions aim to build trust so people can speak honestly about what matters to them. Claire encourages steady steps towards the goals a person sets. If someone wants a quiet, compassionate space to work through anxiety, depression or loss, she aims to offer that kind of support.

Online support
She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear short-term goals and spot what is already working. These methods are chosen together with the person in therapy, so the approach fits their needs, goals and preferences. Claire treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will adjust plans as things progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are helpful for deeper conversations where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, practical problem solving or when fitting therapy into a busy day.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while still allowing a regular therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
