About Andy
NCPS, 6 years' experience. Andy Clements is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self esteem and depression. He also works with clients on LGBT matters, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges and coping with life changes.
Andy uses Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and adapts his way of working to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on practical conversation about current problems and on building skills for managing emotions and relationships. He keeps language straightforward and prefers short, clear sessions when that helps someone make progress.
In practice he offers a mix of listening and active skills coaching. That can mean talking through recent events, identifying patterns that increase distress, and practising techniques to reduce anxiety or manage anger. He aims to help people feel more able to cope day to day rather than offering abstract theory.
He has six years of experience in the field and holds NCPS as his listed credential. That is presented here exactly as supplied in his background. Andy works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK as well as within it.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location. To begin, clients are invited to use the site matching process and then schedule a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It involves open listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them clarify their own goals. This approach can help with low mood, self esteem and relationship concerns by making space to talk things through and decide what change matters most.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and difficult situations. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and better interpersonal behaviour. DBT-style work is often used for anger, high anxiety and coping after trauma.
Choosing an approach is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and may blend elements from each model as appropriate.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if someone prefers a lower-bandwidth or less visually focused conversation.
