Claire Field, BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space. She offers steady listening and empathy so people can think aloud and make sense of difficult feelings. Claire is a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and has worked in the field for 13 years.

Claire mainly supports people affected by relational abuse, whether experienced in childhood or adulthood. She also helps with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, stress and major life changes. Other areas she works with include intimacy concerns, parenting strain, body image, workplace issues and longer-term mood conditions such as bipolar.

Her practice draws on person-centred ways of working that put the client’s experience at the centre of the session. That means she listens carefully, reflects back what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. Claire also uses mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming feelings, grounding and building awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations.

She supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guide series. Her approach is straightforward and practical: talk things through, notice patterns, and try small changes in day-to-day life. Sessions aim to help people feel clearer about choices and next steps.

Claire works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Prospective clients are invited to make initial contact to discuss whether her style would suit their needs.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online support

Claire works from a person-centred perspective that places the client’s experience at the heart of each session. This approach means the counsellor listens with curiosity, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. It is often useful for relationship wounds, self-esteem struggles and making sense of painful past events.

Claire also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people notice sensations, manage overwhelming thoughts and build small, practical ways to calm the body and mind. Mindfulness can be helpful when anxiety, stress or strong emotions make it hard to think clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire aims to collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the focus as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, cut travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer shorter audio conversations or sessions without being on camera, depending on the setup agreed with the therapist.
