About Clare

Clare Fisher is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' practical experience. She works with adults who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, addiction and codependency. Clare also supports people facing life changes, parenting pressures, burnout and trauma-related concerns.

Clare keeps her approach straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client. She draws on client-centred work and narrative techniques to help people tell their story and find clearer ways to act in their lives.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools to identify valued directions and practical mindfulness skills to manage difficult feelings in the moment. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at recurring patterns in relationships and how past connections influence current choices.

Clare is used to working with carers, neurodivergent clients, creatives and people facing identity or role shifts. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counselling and training in online and telephone counselling, life coaching and NLP practices.

Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and weekend mornings are available for 45-minute appointments. To begin, clients follow the platform's short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Clare commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas into her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and people who struggle with avoidance.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people recognise recurring dynamics in close relationships and try different, more helpful responses. This approach is often relevant for those who feel stuck repeating the same relationship mistakes or who struggle with abandonment fears.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Clare will discuss options with the client and choose approaches together based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process that can change as sessions progress.

The biography records training in online and telephone counselling, but it does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins where helpful, or remove the need to travel to appointments.
