Edward Fisher is a highly skilled assistant psychologist with extensive training in both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approaches. His expertise spans a wide range of mental health disorders, from mild to complex cases, including depression, anxiety, excessive worry, self-esteem issues, panic disorder, anger management, and persecutory delusions. With a commitment to providing high-quality psychological support, Ed ensures that his therapeutic interventions are tailored to the individual needs of each client.
In addition to his clinical work, Ed receives regular supervision and ADHD coaching, ensuring he remains up to date with the latest research and best practices in psychological therapy. He is also the QBCheck Lead at The Private Therapy Clinic, having received specialised training from the QBTech Team to administer this innovative ADHD diagnostic tool.
Ed’s clinical approach is influenced by his experience shadowing leading Harley Street clinicians. Observing their therapeutic methods and diagnostic tools, he has integrated this knowledge with his own training and expertise to develop a highly personalised and effective therapeutic approach.
Recognising that no single therapeutic model fits all, Ed tailors each treatment plan based on the patient’s specific needs, expectations, and therapy goals. He places a strong emphasis on collaboration, ensuring that, from the very first session, clients are actively involved in shaping their own treatment plans. This patient-centred approach ensures therapy is meaningful, effective, and adaptable to each individual’s unique circumstances.
Acknowledging the challenges of opening up in therapy, Ed is committed to creating a supportive and understanding environment. He understands that for many, discussing personal struggles with a therapist—who begins as a stranger—can be daunting. To address this, Ed adapts his therapeutic pace according to the comfort level of his clients, whether they require short-term interventions due to time constraints, financial considerations, or personal preference, or seek longer-term weekly sessions for in-depth support.
One of Ed’s key areas of specialisation is working with delusions, particularly persecutory delusions. His deep understanding of this area has allowed him to develop excellent communication skills and expertise in screening complex clients with conditions such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and schizophrenia/psychosis.
Ed approaches delusions with sensitivity, recognising that they often originate from logical and rational thought processes. The challenge arises when these beliefs become severe, unfounded, and begin to take control of an individual’s daily life. His therapeutic approach aims to explore the underlying thought patterns while helping clients regain a sense of clarity and control.
As the QBCheck Lead at The Private Therapy Clinic, Ed has been trained to administer QBCheck, an advanced ADHD screening tool. This cutting-edge assessment analyses an individual’s performance on a stimulus-response task, comparing their results to an age- and gender-matched control group as well as an ADHD-diagnosed group.
The QBCheck test measures the three core symptoms of ADHD—inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity—using facial recognition technology and response-time tracking. By combining objective data with a subjective rating scale, the tool provides a comprehensive analysis of ADHD likelihood, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
Edward Fisher’s dedication to high-quality psychological support is evident in his patient-centred approach, his expertise in complex mental health conditions, and his role in advanced ADHD assessment. By combining clinical knowledge with a personalised therapy style, he ensures that every client receives the most effective and appropriate psychological care for their unique needs.
For individuals seeking professional and tailored psychological support, Ed provides a compassionate and evidence-based approach designed to foster meaningful and lasting change.
