About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people recover from emotional pain. She uses a caring, non-judgemental way of listening to help people feel heard and understood. Claire holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and brings 13 years of practice to her work.
She often supports people affected by relational abuse, whether from childhood or adult life, and also helps with anxiety, depression and grief. Claire provides space to talk through difficult feelings around intimacy, addiction, self-esteem and major life changes. Her background includes work with complex issues such as dissociation, attachment and abandonment concerns.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means she follows the person’s lead and reflects back what she hears. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Sessions aim to help people find their own solutions rather than prescribe answers.
Claire has experience supervising other counsellors and psychotherapists and has written guides in the Rainbow Therapy Tools series. Those roles inform her practice by keeping her thinking current and reflective. She describes the counselling relationship as a place to be listened to honestly and without pressure.
Based in the United Kingdom, Claire works with a broad range of concerns including relationship issues, trauma, parenting strain and career stress. She welcomes enquiries in English and is open to working with people from other countries through the platform process.
How Claire uses person-centred and mindfulness work online
Person-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s concerns and reflecting what is heard. In practice this means the counsellor listens without judging and helps clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings. It is often used for relationship difficulties, trauma recovery and problems with self-esteem.Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity. Simple grounding and breathing exercises are often used to reduce overwhelm and to create moments of calm during stressful times. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Claire will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest whether person-centred work, mindfulness techniques, or a mix feels most helpful. The choice can change as work progresses and is decided together.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, avoid travel, and check in more regularly. It can also allow shorter or more frequent meetings when life is busy, and make it simpler to access support from another country when needed.
