About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience. He trained at a BACP accredited college and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. He also works in community mental health and has experience as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy.
Clive draws on his own earlier experience of living with anxiety and depression to relate to what clients face. He focuses on everyday problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger and loss. He also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties.
In sessions he uses a person-centred style, listening closely and helping people notice patterns that affect how they cope. He combines this with cognitive tools to help change unhelpful thinking, and attachment ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current ones. He will work at a practical pace and discuss options together rather than imposing a single method.
Clive's community work means he is used to coordinating with other services and helping people find additional support where needed. He holds full DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and receives clinical supervision as part of his practice.
People looking for straightforward, practical help with family tensions, parenting strain or steadying mood and anxiety may find his approach useful. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and booking a session to see how his way of working fits your situation.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Clive commonly draws on Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-Centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping someone make sense of their feelings; it suits people who want a steady, reflective space to talk things through. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and gives straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful reactions.He also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current family and intimate dynamics. That approach can help when relationship patterns, parenting stress or attachment worries are a central concern. Choosing which combination to use is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options with the client and adjust methods to fit their needs and goals.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travelling to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists vary in how they run remote sessions, so he will explain practical arrangements when you start and help adapt sessions to your everyday routine.
