About Scott
Scott Mottram is a BACP counsellor who helps people when life feels overwhelming. He supports those coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting concerns and career strains. He also works with people facing trauma, relationship difficulties and changes in their life stage.
Scott takes a straightforward, calm approach. He listens without judgement and focuses on what matters most to the individual. Sessions are collaborative - he helps people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
His method is integrative. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment ideas among other approaches. That means he can offer practical exercises, new ways of thinking, and attention to emotional bonds where they matter.
With ten years of experience, he aims to make therapy useful and down to earth. He explains techniques in simple language and adapts them as the work proceeds. People can expect a mix of talking, guided exercises and real-world tasks between sessions.
Scott offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Scott’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression and getting unstuck when habits feel limiting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear techniques to change patterns that increase distress. It can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape emotional responses and communication, and it can be helpful where trust, closeness or fatherhood issues are important.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will discuss options and test what fits each person’s goals and preferences. He adapts methods as the relationship develops and invites clients to feed back on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection, or times when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily life.
