Claire Field , BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor who has supported people through emotional recovery and life change for 13 years. She approaches therapy from a belief that humans seek unconditional respect and understanding, and she creates a therapeutic relationship where empathy and authenticity help clients feel heard and valued. Claire works primarily with people who have experienced relational abuse in childhood or adulthood, and she also accepts clients presenting with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, eating issues, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and identity-related stress.

In sessions she offers time and space to explore difficult feelings and practical challenges, helping clients develop their own strategies and discover what feels right for them. As a trained and experienced counsellor, Claire aims to listen without judgement, avoid directing or telling clients what to do, and support each person to reach greater clarity and resolution. She also provides supervision for other counsellors and psychotherapists and is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series available on Amazon.

Claire is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the Person-centred Association, reflecting her commitment to ongoing professional standards and person-centred practice. She accepts new clients and works with people both in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Person-Centred and Mindful Approaches for Online Therapy

Claire draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on building an accepting, non-judgemental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and support that help people explore feelings, relationships, and choices. This approach is especially helpful for those recovering from relational trauma, facing attachment or abandonment issues, or seeking greater self-understanding.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that help reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and emotions and build present-moment coping skills. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and managing overwhelming feelings that arise from trauma or life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is treated as a collaborative process. Claire will help clients identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts sessions as progress is made.

Online therapy with Claire is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access care from different locations, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
