About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people recover from relational trauma and rebuild a sense of safety. She draws on 13 years of experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Claire offers calm, attentive listening and aims to create a space where people feel heard without judgement.
Many clients come to Claire with concerns about trauma and abuse linked to relationships.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, depression, anxiety, stress and major life changes. Practical everyday issues such as parenting, body image, career stress and intimacy-related worries are also within her remit. Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the person seeking help.
Claire listens for what matters most to each person and follows their pace rather than imposing solutions. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside this to help people stay present and manage difficult emotions. Claire has worked with people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and the long-term effects of domestic violence.
She also has experience supporting those affected by cancer, caregiver stress and bereavement. Her experience includes helping with eating concerns, addictions and mood conditions such as bipolar. She supervises other counsellors and has authored the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides.
Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for international clients. Practical online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
How Claire's approaches work online
Claire uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person's experience. This approach emphasises empathic listening and helps people find their own solutions rather than being told what to do. It is often helpful for relationship wounds, low self-esteem and when someone needs time to understand their feelings.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people stay present with difficult thoughts and sensations. Mindfulness exercises can reduce emotional overwhelm and support coping during grief, anxiety or strong stress reactions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Claire will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your needs and goals, and she adapts the pace based on what you find helpful. That means the plan can change as you make progress or as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls let you talk face to face from wherever you are, phone sessions work well when a video connection is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make sessions more flexible and help fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities.
