Claire Field , BACP

Claire Field is a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor who finds fulfilment in accompanying people through emotional and psychological recovery. She believes that, at the heart of human connection, is a need for unconditional respect and understanding, and that the counselling relationship can provide an authentic space in which someone can be met with genuine empathy whatever they are facing.

Claire has practised as a counsellor for 10 years and most often works with people who have experienced the trauma of relational abuse, whether that occurred in childhood or adulthood. She is also available to support clients with a wide range of other concerns when contacted. In her practice she aims to offer a listening presence that does not judge, take over, or prescribe how someone should think or feel, allowing clients the freedom to speak without feeling they are an unreasonable burden to friends or family.

Her approach creates time and space to explore problems, to identify personal solutions and strategies, and to consider next steps with care. Talking things through with her as a trained, qualified and experienced counsellor can help bring greater clarity or resolution. Claire also supervises other counsellors and psychotherapists and is the author of the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides series available on Amazon. She is MBACP - a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - and a member of the Person-centred Association.
