About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has eight years' experience and trained to a Diploma level in Integrative Counselling at a BACP accredited college. He draws on his own experience with anxiety and depression to understand how these problems can affect daily life and relationships.
Clive helps people work through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief and bereavement. He also supports clients facing career strain, parenting stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He accepts international clients and works in English.
In practice he uses an integrative approach. That means he blends humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential ideas to fit each person's situation. He describes his core style as person-centred, so sessions focus on the person's experience and goals.
Alongside private practice, Clive works in community mental health. He has experience connecting people to statutory and voluntary agencies, acting as an independent mental health advocate, and working in occupational therapy settings. He holds full DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and clinical supervision.
Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and build practical coping strategies for everyday life. People meet to talk through what leads to stress or angry reactions, practise different ways of responding, and plan small steps to handle difficult moments. To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Clive draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising different responses, which can help with anxiety, anger and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how these affect current interactions and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clive will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as you learn more about what helps you manage anger or stress.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It also lets some people choose a shorter phone check-in when energy or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, thought records and relationship-focused tasks for remote sessions so practical skills can be practised between meetings.
