Claire Field, BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor who welcomes the opportunity to support people through emotional and psychological recovery. She works from the belief that what connects people is a common wish for unconditional respect and acceptance, and she aims to offer a therapeutic relationship in which empathy and genuine understanding are the foundation for change. With 13 years of clinical practice, Claire most often supports people who have experienced relational abuse in childhood or adulthood, though she is also experienced in working with a wide range of concerns from grief and depression to anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties.

In sessions she creates a space where clients can be heard without judgement, direction, or the pressure of feeling like a burden to friends or family. That space is used to explore problems, clarify options, and develop personal strategies that feel right for each person. As a trained and experienced counsellor, Claire helps clients move toward resolution or clearer understanding by listening closely and reflecting what emerges in the conversation.

Alongside direct practice she supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists and is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides book series available on Amazon. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) - a recognised professional body for counsellors in the UK - and she is also a member of the Person-centred Association.

Person-Centred and Mindfulness Support Online

Claire draws on client-centred principles to provide a compassionate, non-directive space where clients can explore feelings and options at their own pace. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and respect to help people gain clarity and confidence when coping with relationship trauma, grief, anxiety, or life transitions.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help clients bring gentle, focused attention to present-moment experience. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support people dealing with stress, anxiety, or patterns that follow trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire works with each client to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, access for people in different locations, and a range of communication styles so individuals can choose the way of working that feels most comfortable.
