Claire Field , BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on helping people recover emotionally and psychologically after difficult experiences. She values the human need for unconditional respect and acceptance and creates a therapeutic relationship built on empathy and authentic listening. Claire primarily supports people who have experienced relational abuse in childhood or adulthood, while also working with a broad range of concerns including grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and issues around identity and self-esteem.

Her approach emphasises offering a nonjudgemental space where clients can explore feelings, consider options, and discover their own solutions. Claire believes counselling can provide a freedom not always available in other relationships - the opportunity to be heard without being told what to do, and the time to reflect and gain clarity. As a trained and experienced counsellor, she aims to help clients find resolution or new ways forward through compassionate, client-centred work.

In addition to clinical practice, Claire supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists and is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series available on Amazon. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) and of the Person-centred Association, demonstrating ongoing professional engagement and commitment to ethical standards in counselling practice.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Support via Online Sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic relationship where the client is seen and heard. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and make choices that feel right for them, and it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and recovery from relational trauma.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attentional and awareness practices to help manage stress and overwhelming emotions. By learning to notice thoughts and sensations without being swept away by them, clients can develop steadier responses to anxiety, depression, cravings, and intense mood states.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Claire Field collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the way she works as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Claire is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to support flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
