About Clare

Clare Fisher is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting pressures and identity concerns. Clare also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction and the everyday strain of caregiving and work-life changes.

Her way of working is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Clare draws on person-centred methods and coaching tools to help people notice patterns, try new approaches and make practical changes.

Clare uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people live with difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them take over. Attachment-based ideas inform her work on relationship problems and on experiences of abandonment or attachment difficulties.

She also makes use of narrative and solution-focused ways of working when someone wants to reorganise a story about themselves or to set short-term goals. This can suit people who want structure and clear next steps alongside more exploratory talking.

People often come to Clare when they're juggling parenting, caregiving or demanding jobs and feel worn down. Her sessions aim to break things into manageable steps, strengthen coping strategies and rebuild a sense of confidence. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial booking step are used to match people to a first session.

How sessions work

How Clare uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and carry on with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and when someone wants clearer values-based action.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and early bonds. It can help with problems that feel rooted in trust, abandonment or repeated relationship cycles.

Clare also uses client-centred methods that focus on the individual's pace and priorities. This provides space to talk things through while other methods add structure or practical steps.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Clare will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods may suit you best. The choice is collaborative and can change as you make progress.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit counselling around family and work life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter place, avoid camera use if preferable, or schedule meetings outside usual working hours to suit caring responsibilities.
