About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people rebuild after difficult experiences. She draws on 13 years of work supporting people through trauma, loss, relationship pain and life changes. Claire practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP, which is listed as her professional credential.
She believes the counselling relationship matters most. Sessions aim to give people listening without judgement, space to speak, and time to decide what feels right next.
Background and approach
Claire prefers plain, honest conversation and simple tools that can be used day to day. Her main interest is relational trauma, including abuse experienced in childhood or adulthood. She also works with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem and intimacy-related problems.
Practical issues such as career strain, parenting pressures and managing big life transitions are part of her caseload. Claire uses a person-centred approach which focuses on the client's experience and what they want to change. She also brings mindfulness-based ideas to help people stay grounded and notice what is happening in the moment.
Together these approaches help clients slow down, name feelings and try new ways of coping. Alongside counselling she provides supervision for other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides. Her work aims to be warm and straightforward so people feel able to talk about painful things and make steady progress.

Ways of working Claire names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Person-centred and Mindfulness approaches online
Claire uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the centre of each session. This involves active listening, reflecting what the client says and helping them find their own solutions rather than giving advice. It is often useful for people dealing with relationship hurt, self-esteem or big life decisions.She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed. Mindfulness work can be simple - breathing, noticing body sensations or short grounding exercises - and it often helps with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something fits. She encourages open feedback so the plan can be adjusted as needed.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
