Clare Fisher , BACP

Clare Fisher offers flexible weekday and evening appointments and will do her best to accommodate schedules that do not fit standard times. Weekend sessions are also available on Saturday and Sunday mornings as 45-minute appointments, providing additional options for those balancing work, family, or other commitments.

Clare is a warm, down-to-earth, and experienced pluralistic counsellor who creates a compassionate space where people can be heard without judgment. She supports adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, anxious, or in need of greater clarity, and she works at a pace that suits each individual. Through therapy clients can build resilience, regain confidence, and reconnect with aspects of themselves that may have been hidden or neglected.

Her practice is tailored to each person, drawing on a broad toolkit that includes person-centred counselling, coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, and trauma-informed approaches. Clare works collaboratively with clients to focus on what matters most to them and to develop practical ways of coping and moving forward.

She supports adults from many backgrounds, including neurodivergent people, carers, creatives, and those navigating life transitions or relationship difficulties. Her qualifications include an MSc in Counselling (Merit) and registration as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), a BA (Hons) in Community Learning and Development, NLP Master Practitioner registration, Level 3 Life Coach membership, certification in online and telephone counselling, BPS-approved clinical supervision accreditation, PVG scheme membership, and full professional insurance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it supports taking meaningful action aligned with personal values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and difficulties with motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of feeling and relating, and it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns, and rebuilding trust and closeness.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a non-judgmental, empathic environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people discover their own solutions and strengthen self-awareness. It suits a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Clare will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will tailor methods and pace to support realistic progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow people to choose the format that feels most manageable for them.
