About Clare
Clare Fisher is a counsellor with five years of clinical experience and a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a warm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable. Clare focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burned out or anxious, and those seeking clarity about their next steps.
Clare adapts each session to the person's needs. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred techniques, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy to shape conversations.
How Clare works
The emphasis is practical: noticing patterns, trying small changes, and finding clearer ways to cope day to day. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction issues, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Clare also helps people facing relationship strains, parenting pressures, career doubts, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the emotional effects of separation or loss.
She addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, control and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions can include coaching-style conversations when helpful, and Clare works with people who are neurodivergent as well as carers and creatives. Her aim is to help clients build resilience, strengthen self-esteem and reconnect with parts of themselves that feel lost.
Clare offers weekday and evening appointments and some weekend slots. She sees people remotely in the United Kingdom and runs sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and reactions, helping people understand and change unhelpful patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clare will discuss different methods and tailor sessions to the individual's goals, preferences and current situation. This is a collaborative process where the client and counsellor try things and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their day. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when being on camera is difficult. These options make it easier to fit regular work on personal goals into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
