About Claire Owers

Claire Owers is a fully qualified and registered counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and works with a diverse set of clients in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and empathetic manner.

She specialises in helping people who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity-related challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. Claire focuses on listening carefully and offering practical, emotionally attuned support to those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need a reliable professional to talk with.

Her practice is warm and collaborative, drawing primarily on psychodynamic psychotherapy to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings, behaviours, and relationships - including the relationship a person has with themselves. This approach aims to deepen self-understanding and help clients see how long-standing patterns influence current life and connections with others.

Claire also integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques when these methods suit a client's needs, and she brings a trauma-informed perspective to her work. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can set and move toward their own goals while speaking openly without fear of judgement.

She believes the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to progress and encourages people to take the time they need to find the right therapist. Claire values her work and is ready to partner with clients who feel she may be the right fit for their journey.
