About Clement

Clement West is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with people who are feeling stuck after change, and those coping with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions.

Clement focuses on increasing self-knowledge and awareness. He aims to help people see situations from different angles and notice positive possibilities. He encourages responsibility and willingness to make changes, while also asking clients to treat themselves with gentleness and kindness.

His practice includes work with people affected by abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, body image concerns, chronic pain, long-term illness and cancer. He also addresses codependency, communication and control issues, commitment concerns, divorce and separation, and recovery from abuse and addiction.

Clement uses client-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Sessions typically focus on practical steps, changes in thinking, and mindful awareness exercises to manage difficult feelings and build new habits.

He runs group sessions called "Enabling Positive Change" and shares work samples on YouTube for people who want an initial sense of his style. Clement describes his background as having a spiritual and holistic influence, and says he will work collaboratively with each person to find what helps them most.

To begin, people are asked to use the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred, CBT and mindfulness approaches work online

Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes in behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems that benefit from clear step-by-step work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach aims to increase self-awareness and help people decide their own next steps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to stress and improve focus. It can be useful when strong emotions make decision-making hard. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Clement will help clients choose methods based on their goals, needs and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as sessions progress. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the platform's session options before booking. The profile does not list specific formats, so check whether you prefer video, phone or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time, helping people keep continuity during busy periods.
