Clive Fisher , BACP

Clive Fisher draws on both personal experience of living with anxiety and depression and professional training to support people working through emotional distress. He understands the daily impact of low mood and worry and uses that perspective to help clients build self-awareness and practical coping strategies. Clive trained at a BACP accredited college and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and he is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He also maintains full DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and regular clinical supervision.

In addition to a private practice, Clive works in community mental health where he supports people with long term severe mental health needs, connecting them with statutory and voluntary services. He has experience as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy, which informs a practical, support-focused style of working. Clive offers help across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, anger, loss and bereavement, trauma and abuse.

His approach is integrative and person-centred, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential ideas to tailor therapy to each individual. Clive practices in the United Kingdom, offers services in English and is currently accepting clients, including international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Clive Fisher

Clive uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and can be helpful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment issues, or repeated relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering an empathic, non-directive space that supports self-discovery and growing self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Clive works collaboratively with each person to choose or adapt methods that match their goals, preferences and life circumstances. He aims to tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable for the individual.

Online therapy with Clive is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for people living in different locations. These options make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care across distances.
