About Clive
Clive Fisher is a counsellor with eight years' experience. He draws on his own experience of anxiety and depression to relate to people who are struggling. He offers calm, practical support and helps people build everyday strategies for coping and change.
He holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That membership means he works within the BACP's professional and ethical framework.
Background and approach
He also has DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and receives clinical supervision. Clive uses an integrative style that blends client-centred listening with cognitive, psychodynamic and existential ideas. Sessions are shaped to the person in front of him, so therapy can be focused on short-term goals or on exploring longer patterns.
He aims to create clear, manageable steps people can try between sessions. He has particular experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and relationship and family concerns. He also works with grief, parenting stress, career and life-change difficulties, and issues linked to neurodiversity and attachment.
In addition to independent practice, Clive has worked in community mental health and as an independent mental health advocate. That background informs his practical approach to connecting people with wider services when that is helpful. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Therapy is delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional connection. Online work can help people notice how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, and the therapist helps people try small changes in how they communicate.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what is said so a person can make sense of their feelings and choose what to try next. This approach suits people who need a steady, validating space to build confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions CBT can be used to try brief experiments, plan coping steps and monitor progress between meetings, which helps with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Clive will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. He discusses goals and preferences early on and adapts the way he works as the relationship develops. Finding the best fit is part of the therapy process rather than a one-off decision.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
