Scott Mottram, BACP

Scott Mottram offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief and difficulties around sleep. He also helps those facing life changes, addiction-related struggles, parenting pressures, career questions and challenges linked to ADHD. Scott's work includes attention to attachment issues and relationship patterns that affect everyday life.

Scott is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. He frames sessions around what the person brings, not a fixed formula. He listens first, then suggests ways to make small, practical changes. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and clearer about the next steps.

His practice draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and emotionally focused thinking. Scott blends these with client-centred and attachment-based ideas to match the person's needs. That mix allows room for practical exercises, talking things through, and looking at patterns from different angles.

Across ten years of work, Scott has supported people carrying shame, guilt, or the wake of past hurt. He offers a calm space to untangle painful memories and habitual responses. Practical tools are used when they seem helpful, and progress is reviewed together.

New enquirers follow a short online matching process and then schedule sessions. Scott also offers a 20-minute telephone consultation to discuss questions and see if the approach feels right before committing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand why certain situations feel threatening or familiar, which can help with codependency and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve mood and sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about techniques are made together and can change as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, attend during a lunch break, or continue support when relocating. Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm available options before booking to ensure they fit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help clients shape realistic steps between sessions.
