About Scott

Scott Fitzgerald is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, self-esteem problems and addictive behaviours. Scott works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way so people can feel heard and understood.

He trained to the NCPS standard and has four years of professional experience. Scott mixes gentle conversation with practical exercises. He uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred listening to help clients notice patterns and try small changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. Scott asks about what matters most and then suggests ways to practise new skills between meetings. He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so parents and busy people can fit the work into everyday life.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas and relationship-focused Imago work when useful, looking at past patterns that affect current struggles. That can help with attachment concerns, intimacy issues and social anxiety.

Scott is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. If you want to begin, use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Scott’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist provides an accepting space and follows the person’s lead to help them make sense of their feelings and choices. This style can help when someone needs support with stress, low mood or self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses short practical exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. It often includes simple between-session tasks and can be useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and anger management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that reduce rumination and help with sleep and worry. It usually involves short practices that can be done in daily life to aid calm and focus.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Scott will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy schedules, and they allow practical CBT tasks and mindfulness practices to be worked on between meetings.
