About Scott
Scott Mottram is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and life changes. He also supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges and career questions.
He describes attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality concerns, and problems such as codependency and communication difficulties among his areas of focus. He also lists trauma and abuse, anger, dissociation, body image and issues around divorce and fatherhood.
Scott uses a mix of approaches rather than a single model. That means sessions often include listening, reflection and practical strategies drawn from recognised therapies. He names Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behaviour techniques as approaches he draws on.
Sessions begin by looking at what feels most urgent. Scott aims to help people untangle what is holding them back and to introduce tools when they are useful. He offers a short 20-minute telephone consultation so people can ask questions before arranging a full session.
Costs vary depending on location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted. People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the first session via the online options button.
How Scott combines EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that are hard to put into words. It can help people notice patterns in how emotions affect their relationships and personal choices.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifying what matters most so people can take small, values-driven steps. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and aims to build more helpful ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will discuss different methods and decide together which fits a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as issues become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when longer visits are difficult. They also make it straightforward to continue work while life circumstances change, and allow the therapist and client to focus on the approaches that suit the presenting issues.
