Claire FieldBACP

Claire Field is a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on helping people feel heard and understood. She values a genuine and accepting relationship where clients can talk without judgement. Claire works with people facing relationship trauma and a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression and grief. She is a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Claire offers a calm, steady presence in sessions and listens carefully to what matters most to each person. She often supports people recovering from relational abuse and those coping with life changes such as separation, parenting stress or bereavement. Her approach encourages clients to find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Mindfulness practices are woven into conversations when they help reduce anxiety or improve focus. These simple, practical exercises can help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Claire uses these alongside person-centred ways of working to create space for reflection and change. She has worked in counselling for 13 years and also supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists. Claire has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides book series and brings that practical experience into sessions. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through problems such as stress, addiction, body image, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns. People can expect straightforward, empathic dialogue and help making practical steps forward. Claire practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online work

Claire uses person-centred counselling as a foundation, which means the focus is on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own way forward. This approach suits issues like relationship hurt, low self-esteem and making sense of life changes.

She also brings mindfulness therapy into sessions when it helps. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety, manage difficult emotions and improve concentration. These techniques are offered in short, practical ways that fit into day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Claire will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts conversations and exercises to what feels most helpful for the individual.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats available before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting into busy days, keeping appointments when travel is difficult, or having a quieter way to check in during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful, regular support via online options, and Claire can discuss what will work best for scheduling and practical needs during the matching process.
