Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who helps people find clarity and emotional recovery. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach rooted in the counselling relationship to support people through painful experiences. Claire draws on 13 years of practice and holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP.

She often supports people affected by relationship-related trauma and abuse. She also helps with grief, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.

Background and approach

Claire works with concerns linked to life changes, parenting, career strain and long-term health worries such as cancer and caregiver stress. Her work is grounded in Client‑Centred Therapy. That means she listens carefully, reflects what she hears and follows each person’s pace.

Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her practice, offering ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Sessions aim to give time and space to talk things through, test options and find practical next steps. Claire believes people benefit from a respectful, authentic relationship where they are free from judgement and pressure to change quickly.

She also supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series. Claire is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients by online formats.

Client‑centred and mindfulness approaches for online therapy

Claire’s work is rooted in Client‑Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead. In practice this means sessions are guided by what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood while they decide next steps.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to introduce simple attention practices and grounding exercises. These techniques help with anxiety, stress, mood shifts and coping after trauma by teaching ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting immediately.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claire will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the focus as those needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth needs, live chat and messaging can be helpful for brief check‑ins or when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or family commitments.
