About Claire

Claire Field is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with people on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress and many life changes. Claire also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and offers support around parenting, intimacy concerns and addiction-related problems.

Claire uses a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on listening without judgement and helping the client find their own solutions. She aims to provide steady, respectful conversation so people can make clearer choices about relationships and next steps.

Her work often involves exploring the effects of past relational abuse, whether from childhood or adulthood. She helps people untangle patterns that affect current relationships and self-esteem. Practical topics can include communication problems, commitment worries and coping with separation or divorce.

Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice. These are used to help with anxiety, stress and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming. Clients learn simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings and to reduce reactivity in tense moments.

Claire also supervises other counsellors and has written the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides book series. She is a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists and a member of the Person-centred Association. If you are in a stepfamily or blended household and want to talk through roles, routines, or co-parenting tensions, Claire can help you clarify options and next steps.

Client-centred and mindfulness approaches for online sessions

Claire offers a person-centred approach online that focuses on being heard and understood. This approach means the session is largely led by what the client brings. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person find choices that suit their situation.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help manage anxiety, stress and strong emotions. Mindfulness work usually involves short exercises in noticing breath, body sensations or thoughts, and learning how to respond less reactively. These skills can be useful when coping with relationship conflict or overwhelming feelings.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Claire will work with the client to identify goals and try out techniques that fit those goals. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the approach stays relevant to everyday concerns.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and enable regular check-ins during work breaks or between other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals offer online counselling that aims to match the practical needs of people in blended households and stepfamily situations.
