About Clare

Clare Fisher is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She focuses on life purpose concerns among many common issues, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Clare also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and career uncertainty.

Clare uses a pluralistic, person-centred approach. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Clare aims to help people notice patterns, make practical changes and experiment with different ways of coping.

People often come to Clare when they feel stuck after a change, unsure what comes next, or overwhelmed by daily demands. She works with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, including neurodivergent people, carers and creatives. Clare also supports those wrestling with parenting strain, compassion fatigue and identity questions.

In a session she listens and reflects, offers simple exercises, and helps set short practical steps to try between meetings. Mindfulness exercises and values work are used when helpful. Attachment-focused conversations can help when relationships or abandonment concerns are central.

Clare trained to an MSc level in counselling and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She also has coaching and supervision credentials listed in her background. People who want to begin are invited to use the site questionnaire to match and book a first session.

How Clare’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps towards them. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters next by clarifying priorities and testing practical actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions. This can help when abandonment, trust or communication issues affect close relationships and everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques to try first. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs and goals become clearer.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in the supplied biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or caregiving responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, or sessions that do not require being on camera for people who prefer audio only. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and narrative tasks to an online setting so people can continue practical work between meetings.
