About Clive

Clive Fisher works on anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties using an integrative, person-centred approach that draws on cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience.

Clive trained to a Diploma standard in integrative counselling at a BACP accredited college. He combines what he learned there with his own experience of living with anxiety and depression to help people build self-awareness and day-to-day coping strategies. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms alongside exploring underlying patterns.

He has experience in community mental health, supporting people with long-term severe mental health problems and linking them to statutory and voluntary agencies. He has also worked as an independent mental health advocate and has a background in occupational therapy, which informs a practical focus on everyday functioning.

Clive follows the BACP's professional and ethical guidelines. He holds DBS (CRB) certification, has professional indemnity insurance and receives clinical supervision as part of his practice. These elements support how he runs his work and professional responsibilities.

Clients often come with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, grief, trauma or relationship and family problems. He also works with concerns such as parenting, career stress, ADHD, attachment issues, body image and care-giver stress. The counselling draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential ideas and Jungian perspectives.

Sessions aim to be clear and straightforward. Clive offers collaborative conversations to help people try new ways of coping, reflect on patterns, and make practical changes in daily life. For international clients sessions are offered in English; check session options before booking.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises understanding early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; it can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and some forms of trauma. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room and aims to build self-awareness and agency through non-directive conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Working out the best approach is part of therapy. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what works in practice, then use one or more methods to suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people maintain contact when they are located abroad, while the therapist will help agree a way of working that fits the client's routine and goals.
