About Clive

Clive Fisher is a counsellor who draws on personal experience of anxiety and depression to understand what clients may be facing. He holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Clive combines what he has learned personally and professionally to help people build awareness and everyday coping strategies.

Clive works in private practice and within community mental health. He has supported people with long-term mental health problems and helped connect them to statutory and voluntary services. His background also includes work as an independent mental health advocate and experience in occupational therapy.

People come to Clive for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, anger, grief, trauma and abuse. He also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career strain and intimacy-related difficulties. He pays attention to how life events and loss affect day-to-day functioning.

Clive uses an integrative approach that draws on several ways of working to suit each person. He focuses on a person-centred way of working that aims to build a trusting relationship and empower the individual. Sessions are practical, with time spent developing strategies that can be used between meetings.

He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients in English. The emphasis is on finding a collaborative path forward, tailored to each person's needs and goals.

How Clive’s approaches translate to online work

Clive often uses Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeating relationship themes and make different choices in close relationships.

He also uses Client-Centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. That means the counsellor listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client, helping them to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clive will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then recommend ways of working that suit the client. He aims to be collaborative, checking in about what helps and adapting the plan over time.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking rather than being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer meaningful therapeutic work remotely, and Clive will help identify what will work best for your situation.
