About Scott

Scott Fitzgerald is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and life purpose. He also helps people dealing with addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related challenges.

Scott uses straightforward talk therapy alongside practical exercises. He draws on Client-Centred methods to listen and reflect back what matters most to each person. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behavioural experiments.

Sessions are relaxed and direct. Scott keeps language simple and focuses on small, achievable steps. He aims to help people notice what gets in the way of moving forward and try new ways of coping with everyday stressors.

Scott pays attention to attachment patterns and body image as part of how people relate to themselves and others. He can talk through issues around intimacy, parenting stresses, career uncertainty and questions of life purpose. He works with relationships using principles from Imago Relationship Therapy when that fits the clients needs.

People who prefer reflective work can expect elements of psychodynamic thinking to appear in sessions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and emotion regulation. To start, people use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see how the approach feels.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions that use this approach prioritise clear, empathic listening and helping people name what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping. Delivered remotely, CBT can include homework, brief behavioural experiments and structured check-ins between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will collaborate with each person to decide whether Client-Centred listening, CBT strategies or relationship-focused methods are the best fit. He adjusts the mix based on goals, life demands and how comfortable the person feels with different techniques.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes short check-ins easier and reduces travel time. It can also allow for different ways of working, such as focusing on practical CBT tasks between sessions or using mindfulness exercises during meeting times.
