Clement West

Clement West is a counsellor who uses a gentle, client-centred style to help people find more hope and control in their lives. He encourages self-knowledge and kinder self-viewing so clients can make changes that feel right for them. Clement is based in Cornwall in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Clement focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. He also supports people dealing with body image worries, difficulty with attachment, and the practical and emotional impacts of long-term illness or cancer. He aims to help clients spot new perspectives and build small, manageable steps forward.

He uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness work. That means sessions often combine open listening with practical tools for noticing thought patterns and learning calmer ways to respond. Clement describes his background as holistic and spiritual, and he adapts what he uses to each person’s needs.

Clement has four years’ experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He also runs group sessions called Enabling Positive Change on the same platform beginning April 2025. His style aims to balance encouragement with realistic, achievable goals.

To get a feel for his approach before booking, he mentions there are videos available on YouTube. He invites people to explore what might help and to decide how they want to move forward.

How Clement’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters to the client and follows their pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical steps to change unhelpful habits. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by offering exercises and short experiments to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment noticing and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It often involves short exercises that help with grounding and managing overwhelming thoughts or sensations.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and more consistent contact when travel is difficult. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio when they need less visual focus, while others choose longer sessions to work through more material. Session formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking so clients know which options are available.
