About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has eight years' experience. He draws on his own experience of anxiety and depression to relate to clients and to teach practical ways to manage daily life. He offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem and related concerns.
He trained via a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and works using a mix of approaches. In practice he combines cognitive, humanistic and existential ideas depending on what a person needs. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing different responses and building everyday coping strategies.
Alongside private practice, he works in community mental health and has experience as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy. That work informs how he helps people connect with statutory and voluntary services when needed.
Clive uses a person-centred attitude within an integrative style. That means sessions are practical and conversational, with structured tools when helpful and space to reflect when needed. He can guide people through trauma-related material at a pace they can manage.
He also works with issues such as ADHD, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care, ageing and carer stress, body image and sexual culture concerns. Clients can expect clear explanations of techniques and simple exercises to try between sessions.
How his approaches translate to online work
Clive uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to build practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT in brief focuses on changing thinking and behaviour patterns through clear steps and simple exercises.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early relationships affect current connections and trust. That approach can help when relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues are a central concern. Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep sessions conversational and focused on the client's experience, offering a supportive frame while the person works through material.
Choosing an approach is collaborative - he will discuss goals and preferences and agree which methods to use together. Clients can expect to review what works and make adjustments as therapy progresses.
