About Claire
Claire Field is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship harm, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress and anger among other concerns.
Claire uses a person-centred approach. She focuses on listening and reflecting rather than telling people what to do. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings and start to make practical sense of difficult situations.
She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily reactions and break unhelpful patterns. That can be useful for managing intense feelings, low mood and repetitive thoughts that fuel anger and anxiety.
Claire has a long background supporting people who have experienced relational abuse. She also helps with parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, addictions, body image, bereavement and career stress. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns that often sit under repeated conflicts.
She supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides. She is a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, MBACP, and a member of the Person-centred Association. If someone wants to begin, Claire asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Claire uses person-centred and mindfulness work online
Claire works from a person-centred perspective which means the focus is on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own ways forward. This approach suits issues rooted in relationships, attachment and repeated conflict because it gives space to understand patterns and feelings.She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice bodily sensations, breath and thought patterns that keep anger and anxiety active. Mindfulness practice can reduce reactivity and make it easier to choose different responses when strong emotions arise.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. Claire will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt the balance of person-centred listening and mindfulness practice to match what helps most. That collaborative process helps pinpoint practical steps people can try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can nonetheless make therapy easier to fit into everyday life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only if bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help people keep working on difficult habits such as snapping, building resentment or overwhelmed reactions.
