Claire Field

Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who aims to offer a warm, respectful place to talk. She uses a gentle, non-judgemental approach to help people cope with grief, trauma, relationship problems and life changes. Claire brings 13 years of experience and works in the United Kingdom as a member of the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists).

Her practice focuses on helping people recover from relational abuse and on common concerns such as anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports people facing addiction, career strain, body image worries and intimacy-related issues. Claire notices the everyday pressures that pile up and helps people name what feels hardest to manage.

Claire follows person-centred ways of working. That means she listens deeply, reflects what she hears and follows the person’s lead. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people calm their thinking and reconnect with the present moment. Sessions are aimed at helping people find their own next steps rather than being told what to do.

Her additional focus areas include ageing and caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, abandonment and attachment issues, and relationship patterns like avoidant or dependent behaviours. She has worked with people dealing with divorce, domestic violence and dissociation, helping them to make sense of painful experiences and to regain steadiness.

Claire supervises other counsellors and has authored the Rainbow Therapy Tools series. If you want straightforward support to talk things through and work out practical options, she can help you explore what might work best.

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

Claire’s main approach is person-centred therapy, which means she listens carefully and follows the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and steady presence to help people make sense of their experience and decide what feels right next. This approach is useful for relationship wounds, grief and emotional recovery.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, using simple exercises to slow down racing thoughts and notice physical sensations. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, stress and managing difficult emotions when things feel overwhelming.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. Claire will work together with each person to decide whether person-centred listening, mindfulness exercises, or a mix of both fits their needs and goals. This is a collaborative decision that can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep therapy in the same rhythm as their everyday life, while the therapist and client agree on practical arrangements that suit them both.
