About Clement
Clement West is a counsellor based in Cornwall, United Kingdom. He uses a gentle, person-focused style to help people make practical changes in their lives. Clement is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of experience to his work.
He aims to help people increase self-knowledge and see situations differently. Sessions often focus on reducing stress and anxiety, building self-esteem, and finding hope and direction.
Background and approach
Clement encourages people to take responsibility while also being kind to themselves. His practice supports those coping with relationship strains, depression, life changes and motivation problems. He also works with clients living with autism and Asperger Syndrome, and people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, or chronic pain.
Communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, and codependency are also areas he addresses. Clement blends Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness approaches. He meets people where they are and adapts methods to suit each person’s needs.
Sessions can include practical exercises, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and simple mindfulness practices. He runs group work called Enabling Positive Change in addition to one-to-one sessions. Clement shares some of his work on YouTube for those who want a preview of his style.
He welcomes conversations about how therapy might fit into someone’s life.
Approach-led online therapy with practical tools
Clement works from a person-centred base, which means the conversation begins with the person and their priorities. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people discover their own solutions rather than imposing a set plan.He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes. CBT tools can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties by teaching ways to challenge thoughts and test new behaviours.
Mindfulness practices are used alongside these methods to teach simple attention and breathing exercises. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity to stress and support calmer responses to difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Clement will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together in a collaborative way. That dialogue helps decide whether more person-centred listening, CBT exercises or mindfulness practice will be most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or caring responsibilities.
