About Clive
Clive Fisher draws on both personal experience and eight years of practice to support people facing anxiety and other difficulties. He is a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college.
Clive aims to help people find clearer ways to cope day to day and rebuild a steadier sense of self. Clive describes a person-centred stance in sessions.
Background and approach
He focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship first. From there he works collaboratively to identify practical steps and strategies that fit each person’s life. His background includes work in community mental health, occupational therapy settings, and as an independent mental health advocate.
That experience informs his understanding of longer-term and complex mental health needs and how to connect people with local services when that is helpful. Clive uses an integrative approach, drawing on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and elements of Jungian work.
He adapts methods to what seems most useful for the person in front of him rather than following a single model. Common concerns he supports include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, anger, bereavement, trauma and abuse. He also works with issues such as ADHD, career changes, caregiver stress and intimacy-related problems.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by following the platform steps to match and book. Clive aims to create clear, practical conversations that help people manage difficult feelings and move forward.
How Clive adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Clive commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques when working online. Attachment-based approaches focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and help when people struggle with trust, intimacy or recurring relationship problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at habits of thinking and behaviour and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and manage low mood.He treats the choice of approach as collaborative. In early sessions he will listen to your goals and concerns, try different ways of working, and agree together which methods feel most helpful. That shared process aims to ensure the therapy fits your needs rather than imposing one method.
The online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you use facial cues and tone when that matters. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when you need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
