Scott Mottram, BACP

Scott Mottram is a BACP accredited counsellor who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction, and major life changes. He brings ten years of clinical experience and an integrative way of working, tailoring practical, evidence-informed techniques to each person rather than relying on a single theoretical model. Scott works with issues that include low self-esteem, grief, sleep problems, parenting and fatherhood concerns, ADHD, blended family challenges, and a broad range of attachment and communication difficulties.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where past and present experiences are explored together to identify what is keeping someone stuck and what might help them move forward. As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he follows professional standards for ethical practice and client care. Scott often draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, selecting the tools that best fit a person’s needs and preferences.

Many people working with him find renewed clarity, better coping strategies, and increased confidence to make meaningful changes. To make first contact easier, he offers a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone consultation so prospective clients can ask questions and decide whether to proceed.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then take actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and motivational challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; it can help with attachment issues, relationship problems, and difficulty forming secure bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and build healthier habits, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as understanding grows. This collaborative process helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility to access support by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow consistent contact, practical skill practice between sessions, and the convenience of meeting with a licensed professional from home or another comfortable setting.
