About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience. He trained with a BACP-accredited college and works with people facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, relationship and family difficulties, anger, trauma and bereavement. He also offers support around LGBT issues, ADHD and career or parenting stresses.
Clive draws on his own lived experience of anxiety and depression when he works with others. He uses practical conversation and simple strategies to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping day to day. Sessions are grounded in listening and clear feedback rather than jargon.
His background includes community mental health work, independent mental health advocacy and occupational therapy settings. That experience informs how he helps people connect with local services and practical supports when needed. He also holds full DBS (CRB) certification and professional indemnity insurance.
Clive describes his practice as integrative. He mixes ideas from client-centred work, attachment-based thinking, cognitive approaches, existential questions and Jungian perspectives when it fits the person. This means he adapts methods to whatever seems most helpful for the issue being tackled.
People meet him to talk through everyday pressures of adult life - managing work or study stress, relationship strains, and the sense of feeling stuck after a life change. He encourages straightforward goal-setting and small experiments people can try between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations using this approach look at how trust, closeness and distance play out in present relationships and help people try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s experience and uses open listening and reflection to clarify feelings and choices; this helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to start. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In online work CBT often includes practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is something to work on together. Clive will discuss these models with the client, explain what they involve and agree which ideas to use based on the person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it straightforward to include exercises or written work between meetings so progress can be tracked over time.
