About Scott
Scott Mottram is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a range of life challenges including addiction, grief and difficulties with sleep. He also supports those dealing with self-esteem, anger and parenting strains, and helps people affected by trauma and abuse.
Scott uses an integrative style rather than one fixed method. He listens to each person’s story and picks methods that suit the issue at hand. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps you can try between meetings as well as talking through where problems began and how they show up now.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred and emotion-focused work. That mix is used to help people build coping skills, manage strong feelings and improve relationships. Scott explains techniques in plain language and practices them together with clients in session.
Scott offers a short, no-obligation 20 minute telephone consultation before starting. The consultation is useful for asking practical questions and getting a feel for how sessions might work. People who choose to continue usually move from that initial call into regular sessions and follow a plan agreed with Scott.
Sessions use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted. If unsure about how sessions are run, Scott asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
How Scott applies therapeutic approaches online
Scott commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on valued action, which can be useful for anxiety and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect present connections and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Scott discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adapts methods as progress is made. He works with each person to find the mix of tools and pacing that feels workable for them.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the available session formats when booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to exercises done between sessions, which can be easier to slot into everyday life when meeting remotely. Ask about formats and scheduling during the initial telephone consultation to make sure the arrangements fit your routine.
