Michael Clement
A calm person-centred counsellor helping you move forward
About Michael
Michael Clement trained in counselling after a career in nursing. He holds a BA Honours degree in Counselling Studies and Supervision and a diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, and is a BACP member. Michael presents himself in a calm, straightforward way and focuses on helping people take the first steps towards change.
He uses a person-centred approach. That means sessions are led by the person who comes to therapy. The therapist listens without judgement and works to create an accepting space where clients can talk through what matters to them.
Background and approach
Michael has five years' experience and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, money and workplace stresses, and men’s midlife questions. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Michael helps people notice patterns in feelings and behaviour, and to identify options that feel manageable. He encourages self-awareness and supports small steps that build confidence over time. People who prefer a reflective, non-directive style may find his way of working helpful.
He aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity and to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. The goal is to help people feel more able to cope and more in control of their choices.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred therapy and online access
Michael practises a person-centred approach which puts the client at the heart of sessions. That means the counsellor follows what you bring, reflecting your feelings and helping you make sense of your own experience. This approach can suit people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and past abuse because it focuses on understanding your perspective.Michael's nursing background also informs his sensitive, supportive manner. In practice he encourages self-awareness and helps people identify small, achievable changes. Together you would decide whether the person-centred way is right, and adapt the pace and focus to your goals and comfort. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face style interaction matters, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to choose the format that feels most practical.
