About Scott
Counsellor Scott Fitzgerald is a UK-based practitioner and a member of NCPS with four years of experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, loss and low self-esteem. He also works with issues such as addiction, LGBT concerns, grief, parenting strain and sleep or eating problems.
Scott keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He uses talk therapy alongside cognitive exercises to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also appear in his work when they help make sense of patterns that repeat.
He aims to be down-to-earth in session, using plain language and a bit of humour where it fits. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and small steps they can take between meetings. The emphasis is on understanding feelings and developing manageable tools for day-to-day life.
Scott often supports clients working on intimacy and attachment issues, body image and social anxiety. He also offers help around career questions, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Work can be short term or longer, depending on what a client prefers.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the United Kingdom. Before booking, people should confirm the current session formats and practical arrangements so they know how meetings will be run.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an open, respectful conversation that puts the person’s concerns first. It helps when someone needs a space to talk and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses short practical exercises to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and to increase calm in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk through options and decide together with the client which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed as needed, based on progress, goals and personal preference.
Confirm the exact session formats and practical arrangements before booking, because the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, or to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. They can also remove travel time and let people meet from wherever is most convenient for them. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these ways of working, and the counsellor will explain the practical steps when arranging the first appointment.
