About Scott
Scott Mottram is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and depression. He also supports people coping with life changes, grief, addictions and sleep problems. Men’s wellbeing is a noted area of interest in his work. Scott writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard and understood from the start.
He uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions often explore past experiences that affect the present while also looking for practical steps that reduce day-to-day distress. Scott aims to help people recognise what is holding them back and take small, achievable actions towards change.
Scott has ten years of experience and draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when these suit a person’s needs. He works collaboratively, matching tools to the situation rather than applying a single model to everyone.
Many clients find the work brings greater clarity and a stronger sense of direction. Scott describes his role as offering steady support while people try out different ways of managing feelings and relationships.
To begin, he invites a short telephone conversation so potential clients can ask practical questions and decide whether to proceed. The call gives a simple chance to outline goals and agree next steps before booking further sessions.
How Scott's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry, avoidance or low mood stop someone living in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to reduce distress and build new habits. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns with others and can help with trust, closeness and emotional regulation.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and test what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that matches methods to a person's goals and preferences, and adjustments can be made over time.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they could fit into your routine.
