About Clive

Clive Fisher draws on his own experience of living with anxiety and depression to connect with people who are struggling. He trained in integrative counselling and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college. Clive is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people to build clearer thinking and better daily routines.

He uses a person-centred style that aims to put the client at the heart of sessions. Clive blends ideas from humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential models to suit each person. This mix lets him focus on practical coping strategies alongside deeper personal reflection.

Clive has eight years of experience and also works in community mental health. There he supports people with long-term severe mental health issues and links them to statutory and voluntary services. He has also worked as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy.

Common concerns he helps with include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, anger, loss and bereavement, trauma and abuse. He also lists areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career changes and coping with natural or human-caused disaster among his focus areas.

His practice follows the BACP's professional and ethical guidelines. Clive carries DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and receives clinical supervision. He aims to build trust, increase self-awareness and support practical steps that help people feel more able to cope.

How Clive’s approaches translate to online work

Clive draws on client-centred ways of working that place the person’s experience first, helping people talk through what matters to them and decide the pace of change. This approach suits practical problems like anxiety, self-esteem and relationship stress where listening and reflection are central.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, mood and daily routines by teaching clear skills and small behavioural experiments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clive will work with each person to agree which ideas to use and adjust them as needs and goals become clearer. That means the plan can shift over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around busy lives and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep appointments and maintain continuity. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their work to remote sessions so clients can make steady progress while balancing other commitments.
