Clare Fisher, BACP

Clare Fisher is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who offers a welcoming, nonjudgemental space for adults seeking support. With a pluralistic and trauma-informed approach, she adapts each session to the individual, listening carefully to what matters most and working collaboratively to build resilience, confidence, and a clearer connection to the self that may have been hidden or lost.

Clare supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, parenting and family challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment problems, and the impacts of separation or divorce. Her practice is inclusive of neurodivergent clients, carers, creatives, and anyone navigating life change.

In session Clare draws on a wide toolkit including person-centred counselling, coaching techniques, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and trauma-informed practices to tailor work to each person’s needs. She offers flexible weekday and evening appointments and makes an effort to accommodate requests when standard times do not fit. Weekend options are available with 45-minute sessions on Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings.

Clare holds an MSc in Counselling (Merit) and is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is also an NLP Master Practitioner, a Level 3 Life Coach, certified in online and telephone counselling, holds BPS-approved clinical supervision accreditation, is a PVG Scheme member, and maintains professional insurance through Balens.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Clare uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood by emphasising values-based living rather than attempting to eliminate uncomfortable experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current connections and trust. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and issues around abandonment or codependency. Clare also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, offering an empathic, non-directive space where the client’s perspective leads the work and personal growth is supported at the client’s pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Clare works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the way she works as progress and priorities evolve. Registered professionals often combine approaches to best support individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Clare is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from wherever the client is based in the United Kingdom, while allowing sessions to be scheduled at times that suit everyday life.
