About Clement
Clement West is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses client-centred care to help people make practical changes. He holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Clement aims to help people find more hope and feel more in control of their lives.
He focuses on everyday concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports people coping with major life changes and persistent worries that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.
How Clement works
Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Clement combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different ways of responding, and build small habits that make life easier.
The tone in sessions is gentle and non-judgemental. He has additional experience addressing attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and commitment worries. He also works with people affected by chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, and conditions such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.
Clement values collaboration and encourages people to take responsibility for change while treating themselves kindly. He offers a mix of individual and group work, and shares some videos online to help people get a sense of his approach.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Clement uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s experience. This means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. It is helpful for people who want space to understand themselves and make choices about change.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood because it gives practical tools and simple experiments to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clement will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences, and may combine client-centred listening with CBT exercises and mindfulness practices over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone share thoughts in writing between meetings. This range helps people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
