About Andy
Andy Clements is a counsellor and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has six years of experience working with people on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem and depression. He also lists LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, parenting and coping with life changes.
Andy uses plain conversation to help people make sense of what is affecting them. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on practical steps the client can take between meetings. He adapts the way he talks to fit each person rather than following one rigid model.
His practice draws on client-centred work. That means the client leads the topic and the counsellor reflects and clarifies what the client says. Andy also uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, for skills in managing strong emotions and reducing unhelpful reactions.
He works with people who want help handling difficult feelings, managing stressful life events, or rebuilding confidence after loss or conflict. Conversations can include looking at relationship patterns, parenting strain, or how past harm still affects daily life.
Sessions are presented in straightforward language and aim to set clear steps between meetings. People are encouraged to say what does and does not help, so the approach can be adjusted as work progresses.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can decide what matters most to them. It helps with feeling heard, clarifying priorities, and making choices about next steps. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, in brief, offers practical skills for handling intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and managing distress in the moment. Those skills suit problems like anger, anxiety spikes, relationship tension and coping after trauma.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Andy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to use. He aims to agree a way of working together and to adjust that plan as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list which exact session formats he uses, so please confirm the options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy week, or that short check-ins suit a work break. Others prefer longer conversations when they have more time. The focus is on practical arrangements that fit daily life rather than on a fixed schedule.
