Clive Fisher, BACP

Clive Fisher brings eight years of counselling experience and personal insight into anxiety and depression to his work. He holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Clive writes plainly and listens closely to help people find clearer ways of coping with daily life.

Clive’s approach grows from his own experiences and from practical practice in community mental health. He has supported people with long-term mental health needs, worked as an independent mental health advocate, and spent time in occupational therapy settings. This background informs how he helps people navigate services and find useful supports.

In sessions he uses an integrative, person-centred style. That means he focuses on the person first and draws on ideas from humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential models where helpful. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and build everyday strategies for managing stress, anxiety, mood and relationships.

Clive often works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, anger, loss and trauma. He also lists a wider range of focuses including ADHD, attachment issues, bereavement, body image, caregiving stress and aspects of sexual culture. People looking for practical coping skills and clearer thinking may find his style useful.

He is based in the United Kingdom and practises under the BACP framework. If you want to learn more about how he works and whether it fits your needs, use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and arrange an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Clive combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in ways that aim to be straightforward and practical. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and building a trusting relationship so the person feels heard and understood. CBT looks at thought patterns and everyday habits, offering simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions and close connections. That can be helpful for people facing relationship strain, attachment worries or patterns that repeat across relationships. Together these approaches give space for emotional understanding and practical change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clive will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. He treats this as a collaborative process and will adjust the way he works based on what helps you make steady progress.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow regular continuity. It also lets people choose quieter times, shorter check-ins, or sessions that work around work and caregiving routines.
