Scott Mottram, BACP

Scott Mottram recognises that feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin by life’s demands is a common human experience rather than a sign of weakness. He acknowledges how persistent stress, the restless hum of anxiety, or a muted depression can make the present feel difficult to engage with, and how past events may continue to cast a long shadow over daily life. Reaching out for support is framed as a courageous step toward change rather than a failure.

He is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which indicates recognised professional training and adherence to standards of practice in the UK. Scott offers a compassionate, judgment-free space where the full complexity of a person’s story - past and present - is listened to and respected. His work is informed by an integrative approach, selecting techniques and tools from different therapies to suit each person’s evolving needs rather than relying on a single method.

Many of his clients report finding relief, clearer perspective, and the confidence to make meaningful changes in their lives. Scott aims to help people gently untangle what is holding them back, build insight and understanding, and introduce practical, evidence-informed strategies when they are helpful. He emphasises collaborative work that supports people to feel more grounded and able to move forward.

To make first contact easier, Scott offers a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone consultation where prospective clients can ask questions about counselling and discuss next steps. He welcomes enquiries and aims to provide a clear sense of what working together might look like.
