Clare Fisher , BACP

Clare Fisher is a warm, down-to-earth pluralistic counsellor who creates a compassionate space where people can be heard without judgment. She offers flexible weekday and evening appointments and notes that weekend sessions are available on Saturday and Sunday mornings as 45-minute meetings. Clare works with adults across a wide range of concerns - from stress, anxiety, and depression to relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and career challenges. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment issues, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and major life changes.

Clare adapts each session to the individual, drawing on a varied toolkit that includes client-centered approaches, coaching techniques, NLP, and trauma-informed methods to work collaboratively toward goals that matter most to the client. Her practice emphasizes building resilience, strengthening self-connection, and restoring clarity at a pace that suits each person. Clare holds an MSc in Counselling (Merit) and is a registered member of the BACP - the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. Additional qualifications include a BA (Hons) in Community Learning and Development, NLP Master Practitioner training, Level 3 life coaching certification, and training in online and telephone counselling, alongside BPS-approved clinical supervision and relevant professional memberships and insurance.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy Sessions

Clare uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them - the work focuses on clarifying personal values and taking practical steps toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy is offered to explore patterns in close relationships, understand how early bonds influence current connection and trust, and support change in relationship difficulties and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her practice - it involves empathetic, non-directive listening that empowers people to find their own solutions and build self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Clare works collaboratively to identify methods that fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing in conversation with the client rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Clare can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or on the go and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to adapt formats to what suits the client best.
