About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who believes in the healing power of an empathic relationship. She is a BACP member and brings 13 years of experience to sessions. Her approach is calm and respectful, with a focus on listening and helping people find their own ways forward.
Claire often works with people affected by relationship and relational trauma, whether from childhood or adult life. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes.
Background and approach
Practical worries such as career stress, parenting strain, body image and intimacy-related issues are within her experience too. In the room she offers time to talk without judgement. She aims to reflect what someone is feeling and thinking, so they can see things more clearly.
That often helps people to make everyday decisions and to try different ways of coping. Claire uses person-centred methods alongside mindfulness-based techniques. Mindfulness practices are used gently to help with stress, overwhelming thoughts and grounding after distressing events.
The emphasis is on simple, everyday skills rather than technical language. She also supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides. Claire works with adults on a range of concerns including addiction, eating issues, attachment difficulties and the impact of domestic violence.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
How Claire blends person-centred work and mindfulness online
Claire uses person-centred counselling to create a steady, listening relationship online. This approach focuses on empathic listening and accepting the person’s experience so they can explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace. It suits people dealing with relationship pain, grief or identity concerns.She also offers mindfulness-based techniques in sessions. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress and distressing memories in smaller, manageable steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest whether person-centred work, mindfulness practice or a mix would be most helpful. She aims to agree a plan together and to adapt it as you go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when video isn’t practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
