Claire Field, BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor with 13 years of experience. She focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful experiences and work out what comes next.

She uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the work. That means conversations are paced to the individual's needs and guided by what matters most to them rather than a fixed technique. Claire also draws on mindfulness therapy to help with stress, anxiety and coping when emotions feel overwhelming.

Claire has supported people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps those facing life changes, addiction, intimacy concerns, body image and self-esteem issues. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment difficulty, caregiver stress, bereavement related to illness, and separation or divorce.

Her background includes work with a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns such as bipolar symptoms, eating issues, anger, and communication problems. Claire also supports LGBT concerns and people coping after disasters or domestic violence. She combines steady listening with practical ways to notice and manage strong feelings.

Claire is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - BACP. She supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Person‑centred and Mindfulness approaches online

Claire uses a person-centred approach that centres on empathic listening and respect. This approach focuses on what the client brings to the room and helps people find their own solutions to relationship, grief or self-esteem problems. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside this work to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, and to reduce the intensity of anxiety, stress and overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods to match a person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - she listens, reflects and agrees next steps with the client rather than imposing a set plan.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for face-to-face connection and fuller interaction. Phone sessions suit people who prefer no video or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for shorter check-ins, flexible timing or when someone wants a written record of the session. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
