About Clive
Clive Fisher draws on eight years of practice and his own experience with anxiety and depression to relate to people in distress. He trained at a BACP accredited college and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Clive is a BACP member and works in line with the organisation's professional guidelines.
He also maintains DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and clinical supervision. Clive uses a person-centred stance in sessions, aiming to build a trusting, non-judgemental relationship.
Background and approach
He listens first and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. From there he works together with clients to identify small, practical changes they can try between meetings. His background includes community mental health work, occupational therapy experience and roles as an independent mental health advocate.
That work means he is familiar with long-term and complex presentations and with navigating statutory and voluntary services. Clive offers help for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger and self-esteem. He also supports people with relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD and issues around identity and intimacy.
In practice he draws on several approaches to suit each person. That might mean gently exploring attachment patterns, using cognitive techniques to shift thought habits, or working with meaning and values in an existential way. Sessions can be practical and grounded, with space for reflection when needed.

How Clive’s approaches work online
Clive draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This helps when patterns of trust, closeness or fear of abandonment cause distress. He also uses client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the heart of sessions, creating space to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options with the client and together decide what fits best with goals, needs and comfort. That plan can change as the work progresses and new issues emerge.
Online formats make it easier for many people to access therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need a flexible option during a busy day, or want to reflect between messages. These options aim to make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life.
