Claire Owers, BACP

Claire Owers is a fully qualified and BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Claire brings a calm, compassionate and non-judgmental presence to her work, listening closely to each person’s story and responding with empathy and practical insight.

She specialises in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and the emotional challenges of life transitions. Claire also works with related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, neurodiversity and autism, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, dissociation and codependency. Her experience covers both everyday pressures and more complex presentations, with attention to how past experiences shape present patterns.

Claire’s practice is warm and collaborative, drawing principally from psychodynamic psychotherapy to explore underlying feelings, recurring patterns and the relationships that shape a person’s life. She also applies cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies where they are helpful, and she brings a trauma-informed perspective to sensitive material. The therapeutic work is tailored to each individual, with goals and methods shaped by the client’s needs and preferences.

At the centre of Claire’s approach is the therapeutic relationship - a respectful, trusting space where clients can feel heard and understood as they take steps toward their goals. She believes there is no single right therapist for everyone, and encourages people to find the professional who best fits their needs.
