About Claire

Claire Field is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with people facing relationship pain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and anger. Her practice also covers parenting, addiction, self-esteem and other life changes.

Claire trained in person-centred approaches and describes the counselling relationship as a place to be heard without judgement. She uses clear listening and reflective conversation to help people make sense of difficult experiences. That includes those who have lived with relational abuse in childhood or adulthood.

Sessions focus on what matters to the client. Claire helps people talk through their feelings, identify practical responses, and decide on next steps. She also supports work on things like body image, commitment worries, and coping with illness or caregiving strain.

She incorporates mindfulness practices alongside a client-centred stance to bring attention into the present moment. This can help when anxiety, rumination or anger feel overwhelming. Claire also offers supervision to other counsellors and psychotherapists and writes practical guides in the Rainbow Therapy Tools series.

Claire is a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, MBACP, and a member of the Person-centred Association. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. For booking, clients follow the site matching steps and schedule an initial session.

How Claire’s methods translate to online work

Claire uses a person-centred way of working that prioritises attentive listening and reflecting back what a client says. This approach helps people who are sorting out relationship hurt, grief, or anger by creating clear conversation and space to name feelings.

She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions. Mindfulness means noticing thoughts, body sensations and emotions in the present moment and learning simple ways to respond rather than react. This can help with rumination, stress and sudden spikes of anger.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will talk with clients about what feels most useful and adapt the mix of person-centred talking and mindfulness exercises based on their goals and preferences. It is a collaborative process where the method is reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without video if that suits someone better, or quieter sessions that fit around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide which practical format suits their routine.
