Clare Fisher, BACP

Clare Fisher is a warm, down-to-earth pluralistic counsellor who creates a supportive space where people can be heard without judgment. She frames therapy around each person’s needs, helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or anxious to make sense of their experiences and move forward at a pace that suits them.

Clare works with adults from many backgrounds, including neurodivergent people, carers, creatives, and those facing life transitions. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career concerns, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control problems, chronic pain or illness, and challenges around divorce or separation.

Her practice draws from a wide clinical toolkit to tailor sessions to the individual. She uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques to support practical change and deeper understanding.

Clare’s formal training includes an MSc in Counselling (Merit) - a Master of Science degree in counselling - and she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), reflecting professional membership with the BACP. She holds a BA (Hons) in Community Learning and Development, is an NLP Master Practitioner with registered membership, and is qualified as a Level 3 life coach. Additional qualifications include certification in online and telephone counselling, BPS-approved clinical supervision accreditation, membership of the PVG scheme, and professional insurance.

She offers flexible weekday and evening appointments and provides weekend sessions, including Saturday and Sunday mornings in 45-minute formats. Clare combines compassionate listening with collaborative work to help clients build resilience, greater self-connection, and clearer direction in their lives.
