Claire Field , BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor who has spent over 13 years supporting people through emotional recovery and life transitions. She believes that at the heart of human connection is the need to be met with unconditional respect and empathy, and she aims to bring that attitude into each therapeutic relationship. Claire works primarily with people who have experienced relational abuse in childhood or adulthood, and she is also experienced in addressing issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, addiction, family and intimacy-related problems, and a wide range of other concerns.

Her practice values a genuine, authentic connection in which clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement or pressure to conform. Claire offers time and space to reflect, consider options, and develop personal strategies so that clients can find their own solutions. She uses a person-centred approach that privileges the client’s perspective and fosters self-directed change.

In addition to her clinical work, Claire 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) and the Person-centred Association, reflecting her commitment to ongoing professional standards and practice.

Person-centred and Mindfulness-Based Support Online

Claire’s work is grounded in person-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgemental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and arrive at their own insights and choices. This approach is especially helpful for those recovering from relational trauma, struggling with self-esteem, or facing difficult life changes.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce the intensity of anxious or overwhelming thoughts. Mindfulness techniques can support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and clearer decision making when emotions feel intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Claire collaborates with each client to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on her person-centred stance and mindfulness tools to shape a plan together, adjusting as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access regular support around work, family, or geographical constraints. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them, while still working with a licensed professional who can guide the therapeutic process.
