About Clive
Clive Fisher draws on his own lived experience of anxiety and depression to offer calm, practical support. 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 writes in plain language and aims to help people build self-awareness and coping strategies for daily life.
Clients meet a counsellor who prefers a person-centred style. Sessions explore what feels most helpful and focus on small, achievable changes. Clive uses a blend of approaches so work is tailored to each person's needs.
He also works in community mental health and has experience as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy. That background supports practical help connecting to services and local agencies when needed.
Clive commonly helps people with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, anger, loss and bereavement, trauma and abuse. He also lists areas such as ADHD, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and caregiver stress among his additional focuses.
In sessions he aims to build a trusting relationship and to empower people to make changes. The integrative counselling approach means he draws on humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential ideas as they fit the person. Work is collaborative and paced to suit each individual.

How Clive's approaches translate to online counselling
Clive practises attachment-based ideas that focus on relationships and how early patterns affect present feelings. This can help when someone wants to understand trust, abandonment or attachment issues and how these show up in everyday life.He also uses client-centred work which puts the person’s experience at the centre of the session. This involves active listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem or relationship difficulties.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is part of his toolkit too, and it offers practical techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping strategies for stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Clive will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor the work to what feels most useful.
