Scott Mottram helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He supports those coping with life changes, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, career doubts and ADHD. Scott also works with issues such as attachment concerns, relationship communication problems, codependency and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Scott is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical ways forward that fit each person's life. His approach mixes several well-known therapies to match the needs of each person. Scott uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance and commitment ideas alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ways of working.

He adapts the mix as a client's priorities change. In therapy people can expect to explore patterns that are causing distress and to try straightforward practical tools. Scott aims to make therapy as clear and useful as possible, helping people notice small changes that build over time.

Sessions can include thinking exercises, emotion-focused conversations and strategies to manage strong feelings. Scott invites people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. He offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make it easier to fit therapy around daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy

Scott commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ideas and exercises suit their goals and preferences. This is done together, so plans change as progress happens or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping sessions practical and focused.
