About Claire
Claire Field is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people through depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She works in a warm, respectful way and tries to create a space where people can be heard and understood. Claire holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, abbreviated BACP.
She believes the counselling relationship itself can be part of recovery. That means listening without judging, giving people time to tell their story, and supporting them to find their own next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to help people gain clarity and feel less alone, whether they are facing grief, stress, or longer-term mood concerns. Claire has thirteen years of practice in counselling and psychotherapy. During that time she has supported many people who have experienced relational abuse, both from earlier life and in adulthood.
She also works with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, addictions, self-esteem and major life changes. Alongside seeing people one-to-one, Claire supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists. She is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series, available through general book retailers.
These activities keep her thinking about practical, everyday ways to support people. People who choose Claire usually find a calm, patient approach and simple techniques to try between sessions. She aims to help each person work out what feels manageable, whether that is coping strategies, communication changes, or ways to protect their wellbeing.

Approaches Claire lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and bodily reactions. Mindfulness techniques are short, practical exercises that can reduce rumination and support mood regulation over time. These approaches are offered in a collaborative way so the person and therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claire will discuss what matters to each person, their goals and preferences, and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can suit people with limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging offers brief check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to continue sessions when in different locations.
