About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people rebuild after difficult experiences. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and aims to provide a space where clients feel heard and respected. Claire believes the counselling relationship itself can be healing.
She listens without telling people what to do and offers empathy so clients can explore their feelings. This approach suits people facing loss, anxiety, relationship difficulties and issues linked to identity or addiction.
Background and approach
With 13 years of practice, Claire has substantial experience supporting people who have survived relational abuse. She also helps when life changes feel overwhelming, such as after separation, bereavement, major illness or career shifts. Her wider focus includes stress, depression, parenting concerns, eating issues and problems with self-esteem.
Claire draws on person-centred therapy and mindfulness-based ways of working. Together these encourage present-moment awareness and a gently guided, client-led exploration of what matters most to each person. Sessions are designed to help people find their own solutions and clearer next steps.
She holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, shown as BACP. Claire also supervises other counsellors and has written guides in the Rainbow Therapy Tools series. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches Claire lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Person-centred and mindfulness-based support online
Claire uses person-centred therapy to create an accepting space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach helps people who need empathy, validation and time to work through feelings without being directed. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside this to help people notice their thoughts and bodily responses, which can reduce anxiety and support clearer decision making.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Claire will discuss what matters to the client, try different ways of working if needed, and adapt sessions based on goals and preferences. The aim is to find a style that feels respectful and useful rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports gradual reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
