Hello, I'm Nick Fisher, a registered counsellor and the founder of Fisher Counselling Services.
I have a background in psychology and counselling, with several years of experience supporting people in the mental health and disability sectors. I have worked alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, Autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, addiction, trauma, and other life challenges.
Alongside my professional experience, I bring lived experience of chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression. I have personally navigated through these challenges, implementing strategies and self care needs to manage symptoms and achieve a stable recovery. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges that many people face and have strengthened my empathy, compassion, and belief that recovery and personal growth are possible.
My approach is person-centred and integrates evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. I strive to provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, build practical coping strategies, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
Whether you're navigating a difficult period or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Integrating experience with proven therapies
Combining personal insight with therapeutic frameworks like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides a holistic approach. CBT helps challenge unhelpful thoughts and create empowering new perspectives, while ACT encourages us to notice and accept emotions rather than view them as negative experiences. Together, these tools, alongside mindful practices, empower you to foster a balanced lifestyle and engage in activities that positively impact your mind and body.
Empathy, compassion, and authentic support
Beyond my qualifications, the personal qualities I bring to each session are deeply rooted in my own experiences. My journey has deepened my sense of empathy, compassion, and understanding for those struggling with mental health issues. Clients often value my ability to genuinely understand their challenges, knowing that I have navigated a similar path to recovery. I am here to support you in finding your unique road to healing and well-being.
