About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor with eight years' experience who draws on personal experience of anxiety and depression. He trained with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and is a BACP member. Clive uses what he has learned personally and professionally to help people find clearer ways of living day to day.
Clive keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. He listens for what matters most and helps people build practical coping strategies. Discussions may cover mood, stress, relationships, grief, parenting, or issues linked to identity and intimacy. He aims to make complex feelings easier to understand and manage.
His background includes community mental health work, independent mental health advocacy, and occupational therapy experience. That work involved supporting people with long-term mental health problems and linking them with statutory and voluntary services. This gives him a practical perspective on systems and supports outside therapy.
Clive works from an integrative stance. He draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive and existential ideas when useful. Attachment concepts and Jungian thinking also inform how he understands relationships and personal meaning.
People come to him for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, family and relationship difficulties, grief, and intimacy concerns. He also lists work around ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting pressures and career-related stress.
He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical guidelines and maintains DBS certification, indemnity insurance and clinical supervision. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It can help when trust, closeness or jealousy affect everyday life and relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental conversation where the person leads the pace and topic; this helps people who need space to make sense of strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of therapy. Clive will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on personal goals, life context and how someone responds in the early sessions. That discussion can change as needs evolve and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session formats available when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow continuity of support for international clients who wish to work with him. Registered or accredited professionals use a variety of ways to meet people, and Clive will talk through which option best suits your routine and therapeutic aims.
