Claire Field, BACP

Claire Field is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She believes the counselling relationship itself can be healing, offering empathy and respect so people can feel heard. Claire aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings and find their own direction during tough times.

With 13 years of experience, Claire has focused much of her work on the impact of relational abuse across the lifespan. She also supports people dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, stress and the challenges that come with life changes, including issues around intimacy, sexuality and identity. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as addictions, parenting strain, career stress and body image worries.

Claire uses client-centred work alongside mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and build small, manageable changes. In sessions she prioritises listening, reflection and helping people discover what feels right for them. She aims to keep things practical, offering time to talk things through and to explore possible next steps.

She is a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and contributes to the field through supervision of other counsellors. Claire is also the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she supports people in English.

People interested in working with Claire are invited to use the service’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, so the practical steps to begin are straightforward.

How Claire’s approaches work online and why they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, non-judgemental presence. The method helps people feel understood and respected so they can explore their feelings and make their own choices. It is often used for relationship pain, low self-esteem and coping after abuse.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and emotional flashbacks when daily life feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer travel demands. Online work can also make shorter check-ins simpler and allow people to join from different locations, which supports international clients. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your routine and needs.
