Clive Fisher draws on eight years working in counselling and community mental health. He trained at a BACP accredited college and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clive’s own experience of anxiety and depression shapes how he listens and responds to people in difficulty.

He prefers a straightforward, person-centred style. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and practical coping strategies. Conversations are plain and paced to suit each person, with room to reflect on feelings and daily challenges.

Background and approach

Clive uses an integrative approach that blends several therapeutic ideas. He mixes attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive strategies, existential reflection and Jungian perspectives as helpful. The aim is to tailor what happens in sessions to the person’s needs rather than applying a single method.

He has experience working in community mental health, as an independent mental health advocate, and alongside occupational therapy services. That background supports work with long-term mental health problems and connecting people to local agencies when needed.

Clive helps people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy, parenting and career questions. He also offers support around ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to empower the individual.

Clive works collaboratively to identify practical steps, coping tools and ways to make small changes that add up over time.

Using attachment, client-centred and cognitive ideas online

Clive works with attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations. This approach can help when patterns of trust, closeness or abandonment are getting in the way of present relationships.

He also uses a client-centred way of working that places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening quietly, reflecting what is said and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used too to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical ways to cope with anxiety, low mood or stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Clive will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and may adjust techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need to fit support around work and daily life. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options to make regular sessions more manageable and accessible.
