About Clare

Clare Fisher is a counsellor with five years' experience who aims to create a practical, compassionate space for people to be heard. She uses a straightforward style and offers weekday and evening appointments, plus some weekend mornings. Clare presents as down-to-earth and approachable, and she focuses on helping people make sense of overwhelm, anxiety, burnout and identity struggles.

Clare works with adults from different backgrounds, including neurodivergent clients and carers. She helps people manage stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction concerns, codependency and life transitions. Sessions aim to build confidence and a clearer connection with the self people may have hidden or lost.

Her practice draws on several helpful approaches. She uses person-centred counselling and coaching to explore goals and values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and mindfulness tools are offered to help with difficult thoughts and feelings. Clare also draws on narrative and attachment-based ways of working when relevant.

Clare holds an MSc in Counselling with merit and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes community learning and development and accredited supervision training.

Sessions are tailored to each person and guided by what matters most to them. People who prefer a conversational, respectful style often find this approach useful. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

How Clare uses therapy approaches online

Clare uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports identifying values and taking small, practical steps towards a life that matters to the person.

She also works with attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and how earlier experiences affect current connections. This can help when someone wants clearer boundaries or more reliable ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare treats this as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. You set the pace and the focus together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful when people prefer to meet from a familiar setting or need flexible scheduling. Ask about available times and session lengths when you arrange the first appointment.
