About me

Rupert Fishwick Therapy – Person-Centred Counselling

I’m Rupert Fishwick, a BACP-accredited person-centred therapist offering individual and couples counselling both online and in person. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and tailored to your unique needs, creating a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely.

How I Can Help

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or identity concerns, therapy can help you make sense of your experiences and build a deeper understanding of yourself. My role is to support you as you work through challenges at your own pace, helping you develop greater clarity, resilience, and self-acceptance.

I have a particular interest in working with:

  • Anxiety & intrusive thoughts
  • Stress & burnout (including emergency service personnel)
  • Self-esteem & identity
  • Relationship challenges & communication difficulties
  • Emotional numbness & detachment

Therapy Options

I offer flexible sessions to fit around your life, including:

  • Online counselling (via Zoom)
  • In-person therapy (private therapy room)
  • Walking therapy (outdoor sessions for a more natural setting)

Next Steps

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, so I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if we’re the right fit. If you'd like to learn more or book a session, feel free to get in touch.

Experience:

  • Relationship difficulties – including communication struggles and emotional disconnection
  • Self-esteem and identity issues – helping clients explore who they are and build confidence

Alongside my private practice, I have experience in mental health support settings, working with clients from different backgrounds and life stages. My approach is flexible and client-led, ensuring that therapy meets you where you are.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information

I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to struggle and feel as though the right support isn’t out there. My approach is down-to-earth, compassionate, and person-centred, meaning I won’t tell you what to do but will instead help you explore your thoughts and emotions in a way that feels safe and constructive.

I work with clients facing a range of challenges, from anxiety and intrusive thoughts to relationship difficulties, self-doubt, and past trauma. I also have experience working with emergency service personnel, supporting those who face unique pressures and emotional challenges.

Therapy with me is flexible and tailored to you—whether that’s talking things through in a comfortable therapy room, meeting online, or walking outdoors for a more relaxed and natural setting. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make sense of what’s going on in your life.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so if you’re wondering whether therapy could help, feel free to get in touch.
