About Scott
Scott Mottram is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. He also supports those coping with depression, anger, addiction and major life changes. He aims to offer a calm, listening presence so people feel heard and less alone.
With ten years of experience, Scott works in a flexible, integrative way. He draws on several approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based ideas to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Scott treats issues including sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. He also helps people navigating parenting challenges, career decisions and the strain of blended family dynamics.
He pays attention to attachment patterns and problems like avoidance, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Scott is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. He offers a range of session types, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, to suit different routines and preferences.
People who work with Scott usually start by talking about what feels most urgent. He then sets small, realistic goals and shares tools to try between sessions. Over time he helps people build new ways of responding so difficult emotions have less control.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Scott often uses cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and anger.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages notice and acceptance of difficult emotions while helping people commit to actions that reflect their values. ACT can help when anxiety, avoidance or persistent worry get in the way of living well. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his toolkit and focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current closeness and trust, which can help with family problems and communication difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Scott will talk through what feels most important, review goals and try methods that suit each person. If something doesn’t fit, he adapts the plan so sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit around work and family life. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging can be used for ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works best for them.
