About Claire
Claire Field works from a person-centred approach and uses mindfulness techniques to support people through hard times. She focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about relationship harm, trauma, grief, anxiety and life changes. Claire has 13 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP.
She hears and reflects what matters to the person in front of her, rather than telling them what to do.
How Claire works
That stance helps people who have experienced abuse, attachment ruptures or difficult breakups to re-find their own sense of direction. Mindfulness is used to ground people when emotions feel overwhelming and to build steady coping skills. Claire also works with issues such as depression, addictions, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges and self-esteem.
She supports people dealing with major life changes - for example bereavement, career shifts or illness - and those facing caregiver strain or ageing-related worries. Practical, short-term strategies can sit alongside deeper exploration, depending on what each person prefers. Her background includes supervising other counsellors and writing the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides.
That experience informs a clear, down-to-earth style in sessions. People can expect a patient listener who aims to help them find choices that feel doable and realistic. Sessions are offered in English and Claire accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She combines a person-centred stance with mindfulness tools to help people manage stress, process grief and rebuild after relational harm.

Online support options
Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online counselling
Claire uses person-centred counselling which means she listens with warmth and respect and helps people find their own answers. This approach is helpful for people recovering from relational harm, dealing with life transitions or wanting clearer direction in emotional matters. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside this work to teach simple attention and grounding practices. Those techniques can reduce overwhelm and make intense emotions easier to tolerate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then adapt methods accordingly. The partnership is collaborative - she offers options and helps people decide what feels most helpful rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and text or chat can work for shorter check-ins or for those who express themselves better in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or caregiving commitments.
