About Scott
Counsellor Scott Mottram is a BACP member with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family worries, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, career questions and ADHD. Scott also pays particular attention to attachment issues, blended family matters, fatherhood concerns and guilt and shame.
Scott offers straightforward one-to-one counselling built around what each person brings. He listens to the facts of a person’s situation and helps them make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Sessions can include practical skills, reflective conversation and steps to manage day-to-day pressures.
He uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That might include elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. The mix depends on what is most useful for the issue being worked on.
Scott describes his work as collaborative. He helps people identify small changes and practical ways to test them in everyday life. He also supports clearer understanding of past patterns that still affect current choices.
Sessions are arranged through the platform's matching and booking process. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Scott offers a short telephone consultation before a first appointment to answer questions and check fit.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Scott often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and to focus on values-led action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when past relationships affect current behaviour. That approach helps people recognise repeated relationship patterns and try different ways of connecting. Each approach aims to give clear, usable methods for day-to-day life rather than long technical explanations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That shared decision guides which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care and build practical skills without needing to be in the same location.
