Clare Fisher, BACP

Clare Fisher offers practical, flexible counselling shaped around each person's life and commitments. She provides weekday and evening appointments and can often accommodate times that suit differing schedules. Weekend availability includes Saturday and Sunday morning 45-minute sessions for those who need alternatives to standard office hours.

Clare creates a warm, down-to-earth space where adults can be heard without judgment and work at a comfortable pace. She supports people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, anxious, or seeking clarity, and she aims to help clients build resilience, confidence, and a renewed sense of self that may have been hidden or lost.

Her practice uses a pluralistic, person-centred framework, drawing on tools from coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, and trauma-informed approaches to match interventions to each client's priorities. Clare works collaboratively with clients to focus on what matters most in therapy and adjusts methods as needs evolve.

She holds an MSc in Counselling (Merit), is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and has a BA (Hons) in Community Learning and Development. Additional qualifications include NLP Master Practitioner training, a Level 3 Life Coach credential, certification in online and telephone counselling, BPS-approved clinical supervision training, PVG Scheme membership, and professional insurance through Balens.

Clare supports adults from diverse backgrounds, including neurodivergent clients, carers, creatives, and people navigating relationship difficulties, identity changes, grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, parenting challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Clare commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centred approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions that align with their values - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns affect current relationships and sense of safety, which can be helpful for abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and validation, helping clients build self-understanding and self-esteem through a supportive, non-directive relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Clare works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods fit best based on individual goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Clare is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities, and varying energy levels, and they support people who prefer remote connection or who live outside easy travelling distance of in-person services.
