Clive Fisher MBACP

After years of working in a corporate sales environment, I experienced a decline in my own mental health which led me on a journey to seek out a more fulfilling and purposeful path in life. My own experience of personal therapy played an important part in helping me discover my own potential as a counsellor, and so I began my training...

​

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college.

​

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy), the largest professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. My practice complies with the BACP’s stringent ethical and professional guidelines. I have full DBS (CRB) certification, professional indemnity insurance and clinical supervision.

​

I have a dedicated therapy room at my home near Dartford in Kent, as well as offering online, video call sessions.

​

In addition to my private practice I also work for a community mental health provider where I work with clients who have long term severe mental illness. I also have experience working as an independent mental health advocate and occupational therapy.

 

I offer an initial telephone assessment session free of charge for new/prospective clients.  Please contact me to arrange this.

​

I can help clients with a broad range of issues but I have particular experience in the areas below:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Self-esteem issues

• Relationship difficulties

• Family issues

• Anger

• Loss/bereavement

• Trauma

• Abuse

​

Through my personal and professional experience, I feel I can build a trusting relationship focussing on a person-centred approach, tailored to empower the individual. I use an integrative approach in my counselling which means I use a some or all of the humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive, and existential models to be most effective for my clients.

​

Please contact me for a free initial consultation and assessment by phone.

​

Session fees are £50/hour, student rates available.
