Scott Mottram, BACP

Scott Mottram helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, parenting stresses, career questions and ADHD. Scott's name is given first so you know who you'll meet in initial contacts.

Scott works with an integrative approach. He draws on a few different therapies and chooses what fits each person. Sessions aim to untangle patterns that hold people back and to build small, useful steps forward. He uses straightforward tools rather than technical jargon.

Scott is a BACP counsellor, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He brings ten years of experience to his practice and uses that background to guide practical conversations. He invites questions and keeps the first contact simple and informal.

In sessions Scott listens closely and helps people make sense of their past and present. He introduces techniques from approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and emotion-focused work when these suit the person. The focus is on clarity, relief and manageable change rather than long lists of theory.

Getting started is straightforward. There is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on the therapist's availability. Scott aims to help people feel steadier, clearer and more able to take the next step in life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in the direction someone cares about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions, often clarifying attachment needs and improving emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then pick or combine approaches together with the person. That way the plan fits the person's needs rather than the other way around.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, and it can reduce the time spent commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins some weeks and lets people choose quieter surroundings or less use of video when that works better for them.
