About Clare

Clare Fisher is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief and parenting challenges, among other concerns. Clare also lists support for people coping with career changes, compassion fatigue and life transitions.

Clare uses several well-known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, mindfulness and narrative therapy. She describes a collaborative style that lets clients speak about what matters most to them. Conversations are practical and grounded in everyday life rather than clinical jargon.

Her sessions aim to help people build resilience and clearer self-understanding. Clare can help someone sorting out commitment issues, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, or the fallout from separation and divorce. She also works with people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or codependency patterns.

For many clients Clare blends talking therapy with coaching elements to clarify goals and next steps. She supports people who are neurodivergent and carers, as well as creatives and those navigating big life changes. The tone is straightforward and focused on small, manageable shifts.

To begin, callers are invited to use the online matching process and then arrange a first session. Clare uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How Clare’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and can help when commitment, abandonment or communication issues keep repeating. Client-centred work gives the person space to lead the conversation and make sense of their experiences at their own pace.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to test what helps best, adapting the approach as goals and needs become clearer. That means sessions can shift between exploring stories, trying practical exercises, or setting small steps to try between meetings.

The practical benefits of online work depend on the session options offered. Please confirm the exact formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and busy schedules. They can also allow shorter check-ins, aid access when travel is difficult, and let people choose whether to be on camera or use audio only for a given meeting. Registered professionals and therapists commonly use these options to help therapy fit everyday life.
