Michael Clement is a registered UK counsellor who previously worked for many years as a professional nurse, where counselling skills were central to the care he gave patients.
He has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, social anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-confidence issues, health-related worries, trauma, abuse and bereavement.
His practice is informed by a person-centred approach. This humanistic method is led by the client and places the individual at the centre of the therapeutic process. Given the right conditions in therapy, a person can work towards greater self-awareness and personal actualisation.
During sessions Michael encourages clients to bring the topics that matter most to them - the work is guided by the client rather than directed by the therapist. He helps people explore their feelings, beliefs, behaviour and worldview so they can develop increased insight and greater independence.
He aims to treat every person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and to provide a non-judgemental space in which clients can disclose what is troubling them. Over time this supportive relationship is intended to help clients recognise their own resources, build self-confidence and find options for coping with current and future difficulties.
His qualifications include a BA Honours Degree in Counselling Studies and Supervision (a bachelor’s degree), a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, a Foundation Certificate in Bereavement Counselling, membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and a Diploma in General Nursing (a nursing qualification).
