Michael Clement, BACP

Michael Clement is a UK-registered counsellor who draws on many years of experience as a professional nurse, where counselling skills were central to patient care. He works with people facing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, stress, social anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-confidence, health-related concerns, trauma, abuse, and bereavement. Michael approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and adapts sessions to the unique needs of the individual.

He practices from a person-centred framework, a humanistic approach that places the client at the heart of therapy and supports personal growth through the client’s own insights and choices. In sessions he encourages clients to bring the issues that matter to them, supporting exploration of feelings, beliefs, behaviours, and perspectives rather than directing solutions. The aim is to increase self-awareness, independence, and confidence so people can manage current and future challenges more effectively.

Michael’s professional preparation includes a BA Honours degree in Counselling Studies and Supervision, a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, a Foundation Certificate in Bereavement Counselling, and a Diploma in General Nursing. He is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. He offers a nonjudgmental, supportive environment to help clients discover their resources and options for change.

Person-Centred Care and Flexible Online Therapy

Michael Clement practices person-centred therapy, a humanistic approach that prioritises the client’s perspective and personal goals. This approach involves active listening, empathy, and genuine acceptance to help people explore their feelings and discover their own solutions - it can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and self-esteem challenges.

As a therapist he treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Michael works with clients to identify which methods and pacing feel most helpful, adjusting sessions to match individual needs, goals, and preferences so that therapy remains personal and relevant.

Online therapy with Michael is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility and wider access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support people who live at a distance, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
