About Clement
Counsellor Clement West is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. He works from the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Clement aims to help people increase self-knowledge and awareness. He encourages looking at situations from different angles and noticing small positive shifts. He emphasises personal responsibility and willingness to try new ways of being, balanced with a gentle approach to setbacks.
His main experience includes supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, low self-esteem and problems related to addiction and abuse. He also works with people living with autism and Asperger syndrome and addresses concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues.
Clement draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of mindfulness. That means sessions tend to focus on understanding how thoughts and behaviours interact while also attending to the person’s experience in the room. He uses practical conversation and reflective listening rather than jargon-heavy explanations.
He has a background described as holistic and spiritual and says he will work with clients from their starting point. He runs group sessions called Enabling Positive Change and shares material on YouTube for people who want an introduction to his style.

How his approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings. The emphasis is on understanding the person's experience and building a respectful working relationship. This approach suits people who want time to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Sessions may include noticing unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to help reduce reactive patterns and increase calm focus. Short exercises and breathing or grounding techniques are commonly introduced and practised in sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, needs and preferences and then agree on methods together. That collaborative choice can change as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel arrangements and the chance to use video or audio in ways that suit everyday life.
