About Michael
Michael Clement trained in nursing before retraining in counselling, and he brings five years of counselling experience to his work. He holds a BA Honours degree in Counselling Studies and Supervision and a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, and he is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
Michael frames sessions around the person in front of him and treats each conversation with care and respect. He helps people talk through anxiety, stress, depression and low self-esteem.
How Michael works
He also supports those coping with relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse. Practical concerns such as money, workplace pressure and midlife change are part of his practice too. Michael uses a client-centred approach.
That means sessions are led by the client and Michael follows their agenda. He encourages people to bring whatever they find hardest to talk about and helps them explore feelings, behaviour and beliefs. In the room he aims to be non-judgemental and attentive.
Rather than telling people what to do, he helps them notice their own strengths and options. The focus is on building self-awareness and independence over time. His background in nursing means he is used to working calmly in pressured situations and listening closely to concerns about health and wellbeing.
He also has a foundation certificate in bereavement counselling to support people facing loss. Sessions are offered in English and Michael accepts international clients. He offers a steady, patient style suited to people who want a supportive, respectful space to work through difficult feelings and regain confidence.

Online support options
Client-centred therapy and online access
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than the counsellor. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps the client reflect on feelings, beliefs and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns because it helps people find their own solutions.Michael's nursing background also informs a calm, steady way of working that can help people dealing with trauma, bereavement or workplace stress. He encourages clients to lead the pace and topics in sessions so the work matches their needs and goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative and Michael will help clients find what fits best for them.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face work and let the counsellor and client read visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need a way to work on feelings without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel commitments, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
