Claire Field, BACP

Claire Field trained in person-centred psychotherapeutic counselling out of a commitment to witness and support emotional and psychological recovery. She believes that at the heart of human connection is a need to be treated with unconditional respect and empathy, and she views the counselling relationship as a place where that experience can be found. For Claire, a genuine, authentic therapeutic connection helps people feel understood whether they are facing a crisis or simply seeking greater clarity in their lives.

She emphasises a listening approach that avoids judgement, directives, or the pressure to perform for others, offering instead time and space to explore thoughts and feelings. That space is intended to help clients uncover their own solutions and strategies, and to make considered decisions about what feels right next. Talking through challenges with Claire, who is a trained and experienced counsellor, often helps people reach greater clarity or resolution.

Claire mainly works with people who have experienced the trauma of relational abuse in childhood or adulthood, and she is also open to supporting clients with a wide range of other concerns. She supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists and is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides book series available on Amazon. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and a member of the Person-centred Association. She has been practising for over a decade.

Person-centred and Mindfulness Approaches in Online Therapy

Claire Field uses client-centred therapy to create an accepting, empathetic space where clients feel heard and respected. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting people as they explore their own feelings and choices, and it can be especially helpful for those recovering from relational wounds or seeking greater self-understanding.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple awareness practices that help people notice thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. Mindfulness techniques can support stress and anxiety management, and help people respond more calmly to difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client decide together how to combine methods and adapt them over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, and allow therapy to fit more naturally into busy or changing lives.
