About Scott

Scott Mottram is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He supports those facing life changes, grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Scott aims to make reaching out easier and less intimidating for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

He keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate. Scott listens first, then works with each person to choose practical tools that fit their situation. He mixes approaches rather than relying on a single method, so work in sessions can change as needs do.

Scott draws on ten years of experience to help people untangle patterns that hold them back. He offers thinking tools, emotion-focused work and relational perspectives to help people feel steadier day to day. In-session tasks might include trying new behaviours, noticing unhelpful thoughts or practising ways of connecting with important people.

People often come for relief and clearer direction, and the work focuses on small, achievable steps. Scott explains options plainly and checks in about what is helpful. He describes techniques, practices and perspectives in everyday language so people can use them between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Scott asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Scott’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-guided steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and anger by giving practical skills to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people who struggle with trust, connection or repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Scott will talk with each person about their problems, goals and preferences and then suggest options. The choice of methods is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques and worksheets between sessions and practise new behaviours in their daily routines, helping therapy to feel more connected to everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
