Scott Mottram

Scott Mottram is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and eating or body image concerns. He works with issues like grief, trauma, addictions and parenting strain. He also supports people dealing with relationship patterns, attachment difficulties and life changes such as separation or career shifts.

Scott offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels stuck. He uses straightforward conversation and listens for the patterns behind distress. When useful, he introduces practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions or rebuild routines like sleep.

His practice draws on several approaches rather than one fixed method. Scott blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-based ideas in ways that suit each person. The aim is to find things that help in everyday life rather than follow a rigid programme.

With around ten years' experience, he works steadily and without rush. People are supported to notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Scott encourages clear goals and regular review so progress is visible and realistic.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted, and all work is conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts without getting trapped by them, and to act in line with what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood and managing urges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and introduces practical steps to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with attachment issues and recurring relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together choose methods that make sense for the person's life. This collaborative process means approaches can be mixed and adjusted as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid video when that helps someone engage. Many therapists who work online use the same therapeutic techniques as in-person sessions, adapted to the conversation and practical needs of each person.
