Claire Field

Claire Field is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people navigate strong emotions. She is warm and straightforward in session and focuses on building an accepting relationship so people can speak openly about difficult experiences such as anger, trauma, loss and relationship problems.

Claire has 13 years of experience in counselling and has supported people through grief, depression, anxiety and addiction concerns. She works with issues linked to intimacy, self-esteem and major life changes, and offers a space to talk about difficult topics like domestic violence, separation and attachment wounds.

In the therapy room she offers steady, empathic listening and helps people make sense of what they are feeling. She uses client-centred practice to prioritise each person’s experience and choices. Mindfulness-based ideas are woven in to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity.

Claire also provides supervision for other counsellors and psychotherapists and has written practical guides in the Rainbow Therapy Tools series. Her approach aims to help people find clearer thinking and calmer ways of coping, rather than telling them what to do.

She works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. Claire welcomes conversations about relationship difficulties, anger, trauma, parenting stress and related concerns, and helps people explore next steps at a pace that suits them.

How Claire’s person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Claire uses client-centred practice to build a respectful, empathic relationship where people feel heard and can talk about anger, trauma and relationship worries. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what someone says and helping them find their own next steps rather than giving instructions.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice bodily sensations, breathing and automatic thoughts. These simple awareness practices can reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to triggers such as anger or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and shape sessions accordingly. The aim is a collaborative process that feels practical and relevant to the issues brought to therapy.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and it can reduce the need to commute. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and flexibility for people in different places.
