About Claire

Claire Field works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anxiety using a person-centred approach. She practises client-centred counselling and mindfulness-informed techniques and is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has 13 years' experience in counselling.

Claire offers space to talk about relational abuse experienced in childhood or adulthood. She also supports people with stress, addictions, eating and intimacy-related concerns, and with major life changes such as divorce, bereavement or career transitions. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping clients find their own next steps.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, listens without judgement and helps the person clarify what they want to change. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside this to help people notice thoughts and bodily signs and develop simple practices for managing stress and emotion.

Claire draws on 13 years of clinical experience and also supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists. She is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides book series, which further explores practical methods used in sessions.

Clients can expect short, clear sessions that focus on practical coping strategies as well as emotional processing. Claire works with issues including attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, bipolar-related concerns and domestic violence recovery.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person work out their next steps without directing them. This approach is useful for exploring relationship issues, attachment and feelings after abuse.

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention exercises and noticing bodily sensations and thoughts. It helps people manage stress, anxiety and mood changes by building awareness and practical ways to respond rather than react.

Deciding which approach suits someone is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate with the client to shape sessions. This means the method can shift as needs change.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as none are listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practices such as brief mindfulness exercises between sessions to support coping and emotional regulation.
