About Clive
Clive Fisher draws on eight years working with people under stress and through life changes. He trained at a BACP accredited college and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Clive is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and combines personal experience of anxiety and depression with professional practice. He works in private practice and alongside community mental health services, advocacy and occupational therapy roles.
Clive focuses on practical steps that help people manage day-to-day life. He listens and builds self-awareness together with each person. He uses a mix of humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential ideas, tailoring sessions so they make sense for the individual.
Common concerns he supports include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger and trauma. He also helps with relationship and family issues, grief and loss, parenting challenges, career stress and matters related to identity including LGBT concerns. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment concerns, caring roles and body image.
In community settings he supports people with long term mental health needs and connects them with statutory and voluntary services. He has worked as an independent mental health advocate and alongside occupational therapists. These roles inform his practical, resource-focused approach in counselling.
Clive aims to create a calm, respectful space where small changes add up. He helps people identify coping strategies, notice patterns that hold them back, and try new ways of responding. If someone wants coaching-style support or help coping with a specific stress, he adapts sessions accordingly.
Approaches that guide online work and support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at trust, closeness and the ways people relate to others, which can help with relationship, attachment and intimacy concerns.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions. The counsellor offers empathic listening and helps clients find their own solutions, which suits people wanting a supportive, non-directive approach.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together in an ongoing, collaborative way.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It also lets people work from different locations if that suits them. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know which ways of meeting are available.
