About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people rebuild after relational trauma. She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to offer genuine empathy and clear listening. Claire is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and has 13 years of experience.
Claire believes the counselling relationship itself can be healing. She offers a space where someone will listen without judgment or telling you what to do.
Background and approach
Conversations are used to help people find their own solutions and make sense of difficult experiences. Her main experience is with trauma linked to relationships, whether that happened in childhood or in adult life. She also supports people with grief, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, and questions connected to identity and LGBT concerns.
Other areas she helps with include attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment issues, and the strain of caregiving. Claire uses person-centred methods that put the client’s perspective at the centre. She also draws on mindfulness approaches to help people stay present and reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are paced to suit each individual and to build trust over time. Beyond client work, Claire supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
If you need a counsellor who values empathy and a non-judgemental space, Claire may be a good person to contact.

How Claire’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judging and aims to reflect what you’re feeling. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity and space to make their own decisions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them. Simple exercises can reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety, stress and mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their needs and goals and decide together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Many people find online counselling helps them fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or making it easier to schedule around work. It can also make shorter check-ins or more frequent conversations easier to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and exercises so they work well in an online setting, and Claire will help tailor sessions to suit practical needs and preferences.
