About Claire

Claire Field is a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on relationship harm, trauma and abuse, grief and depression and on common pressures like stress and anxiety. Claire also supports people with addiction concerns, eating and body image problems, career and self-esteem difficulties and LGBT-related worries.

She trained in person-centred counselling, commonly called Client-Centred Therapy, and uses that approach alongside mindfulness techniques. In sessions she listens without judging and encourages clients to find their own solutions. Many people come to her after relationship abuse or painful separations, though she sees others with different concerns too.

Claire describes counselling as a place to talk through problems without being told what to do. She aims to help people work out practical next steps and clear thinking. Sessions can cover coping strategies, emotional regulation, and handling life changes such as separation, grief or career shifts.

She has experience supervising other counsellors and psychotherapists and has authored the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides. Her membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) is listed as her professional credential.

Claire works in English and accepts international clients. If someone wants to start, the usual route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Fees vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Claire's approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor reflects what someone says, offers non-judgemental attention and helps people clarify their feelings and choices. This approach can assist with relationship harm, attachment issues, low self-esteem and decisions about next steps.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without getting swept away by them. Practices can help reduce anxiety, manage cravings or distress, and provide tools to cope with stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try. That might mean using listening and reflection alongside short mindfulness exercises and practical coping strategies. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available session types when booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can access a counsellor from a different region or country without relocating, while the therapist and client decide practical arrangements that suit both their schedules.
