About Scott
Scott Mottram is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He supports those facing depression, grief, addiction and sleep difficulties. He also assists with parenting concerns, career questions and coping with life changes.
Scott works with people affected by trauma, relationship and family strain, and those seeking help with ADHD and related challenges. Scott practises with an integrative stance that draws on several approaches.
Background and approach
He uses Existential ideas to focus on meaning and personal choice. He also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas when these suit someone’s needs. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has ten years of clinical experience.
Scott aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is troubling them and start to make changes that matter. Sessions often combine gentle exploration of personal history with practical exercises. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practising ways to tolerate difficult feelings, or identifying values to guide decisions.
Scott frames work as a collaboration and adapts tools to fit each person’s life. There is a short introductory phone consultation to ask practical questions before committing to sessions. Scott explains how therapy will be organised and what to expect so people feel clearer about taking the next step.

Online support
How Scott uses different approaches in online therapy
Existential Therapy helps people think about meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It is useful when someone feels empty, stuck or unsure about life direction and wants to explore values and purpose.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It helps people accept difficult experiences while committing to small actions that match their values, which can ease anxiety and depression.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping. It can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems to try different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott treats therapy as a collaborative process and will talk with each person about which methods suit their needs and goals. He adapts the plan over time if other tools seem more helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and work with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text are helpful for brief updates, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments and support ongoing access to help when needed.
