About Clare

Clare Fisher works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and grief using a mix of accepted counselling approaches she practises. She is a BACP member with five years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom.

Clare offers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a manageable pace. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, narrative techniques and solution-focused tools to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

In practice Clare begins by listening to the immediate problem. She helps people clarify what they want to change and identify small, practical steps. Work can include examining past relationships, exploring attachment concerns, and building skills for coping with stress and caregiving demands.

She also supports people dealing with chronic pain or illness, career pressure, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and codependency. Sessions may look at communication and commitment issues, separation or divorce, and managing life changes such as bereavement or loss of identity.

Clare has training that complements her counselling work and includes life coaching and online and telephone counselling. Her approach aims to help clients increase resilience, build clearer priorities, and return to everyday life with more confidence.

How Clare uses counselling approaches in online sessions

Clare commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and communication. That work can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and issues around commitment and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will discuss different methods with each person and agree a direction together based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process, so clients and the counsellor decide what to try and review progress as they go.

The original biography includes training in online and telephone counselling but does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. Telephone sessions may suit someone who prefers not to use video, and other practical arrangements can help keep appointments manageable.
