About Claire
Counsellor Claire Field is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) with 13 years' practice. She works with people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and a wide range of life stresses. Claire also supports people with issues around addiction, intimacy, self-esteem and career concerns.
Claire uses a person-centred way of working. That means she listens without directing and helps people find their own answers. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the individual. She aims to be straightforward and practical in sessions.
Much of Claire's work has involved people who experienced relational abuse in childhood or adulthood. She also offers help with family and parenting concerns, body image, ageing, bereavement, and the emotional impact of illness and caregiving. She lists support for LGBT issues, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and recovery from domestic violence.
Her practice includes mindfulness-based ideas alongside person-centred counselling. Mindfulness tools are used to help manage stress, anxiety and mood fluctuations. Claire describes therapy as a place to notice patterns, try out new ways of relating, and practice calmer responses.
Claire supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Prospective clients who want to proceed are asked to use the online matching and booking steps to arrange a first meeting.
How Claire uses person-centred and mindfulness approaches online
Claire uses person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and accepting the person's experience. The counsellor encourages the client to speak freely and to find their own ways forward rather than being given instructions. This approach suits people who want time to reflect on relationships, self-esteem and emotional wounds.She also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness can be useful when managing mood swings, worry or difficult memories.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Claire will discuss goals and preferences and jointly decide which approaches to use. The work is collaborative and may blend listening with practical exercises and mindfulness practice.
