He is a BACP member, and he offers straightforward, person-centred counselling that aims to build self-awareness and everyday coping skills. Clive describes a calm, respectful style.
He focuses on listening first and helping people name what is happening for them. Sessions are practical and personal, with attention to small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He has worked in community mental health, connecting people to services and supporting those with long-term mental health needs. He also has experience as an independent mental health advocate and in occupational therapy. This background informs how he helps people navigate systems and supports alongside counselling.
Clive uses an integrative approach. He draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive and existential ideas to match the work to each person. Attachment-based and Jungian perspectives also shape how he understands relationships and deeper life patterns.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, anger, trauma and relationship or family issues. He also supports people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, parenting stress and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be seen.
Clive works with practical tools and reflective conversation so people can make steady, manageable changes over time.

Approaches that guide online counselling and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and self-worth. It helps when patterns of trust, closeness or separation cause distress in relationships or with intimacy.Client-centred counselling puts the person and their experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, useful for low self-esteem, anxiety and life decisions.
Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on what people think and do day to day. They help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood and build coping skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter or more frequent conversations and can be easier to use around work or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals offer these options so people can choose what best fits their routine and needs.
