About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor with eight years' experience and a personal history of living with anxiety and depression. That lived experience shaped his decision to train in counselling and helps him relate to what clients face.
He holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and is a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). He blends several approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day stress alongside exploring deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships. Clive works in a person-centred way that aims to build trust and encourage self-awareness. His background includes community mental health work supporting people with long-term severe mental health problems.
He has also worked as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy. Those roles have given him experience linking clients to statutory and voluntary services. Clive helps people with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, anger, loss and trauma.
He also lists additional focuses such as ADHD, attachment issues, neurodiversity, caregiving stress and issues related to adoption and abandonment. In sessions he adapts methods from humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential models so the work fits the person. He aims to support clients in finding better coping strategies, clearer self-understanding and practical steps to move forward.
He holds full DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and engages in clinical supervision as part of his practice.

How Clive works online
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and daily coping strategies. CBT-style tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problem-solving during everyday life. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a joint process - the therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then adapt methods that suit you.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow quicker access to support when life is busy. Some formats may also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who do better without appearing on camera. Confirm the available formats and schedule when you select the Start Therapy button.
