About Scott

Scott Mottram works with stress, anxiety, low mood, anger and life changes, and uses an integrative approach to choose methods that fit each person. He is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience. He offers an initial 20-minute telephone consultation to discuss concerns and what to expect.

Scott uses practical conversation and agreed exercises in sessions. He helps people untangle unhelpful patterns, notice what matters to them, and try different ways of coping. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-based work are used when helpful.

Scott also draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Emotionally-focused ideas inform how he works with intense emotions and relational pain. Sessions aim to clarify patterns and to build small, manageable steps forward.

People contact him about addiction, sleeping problems, grief and trauma, parenting stresses and career questions. He also works on issues such as self-esteem, body image, codependency and commitment worries. ADHD, dissociation and blended family concerns are also within his focus areas.

Scott practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. He asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, users are asked to click the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule a first session following the matching process.

How his therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that reflect what matters to them; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with stress, sleeping problems and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and can be helpful for relationship difficulties, trust issues and fatherhood concerns.

Scott will work collaboratively to identify which approach or combination suits the client's goals and preferences. He discusses options early on and adjusts the way he works as sessions progress, aiming to find practical steps that fit the person's life and aims.

The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and some formats allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings which reduce bandwidth and camera use. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to help people attend more consistently and complete practical exercises between sessions.
