About Scott
Counsellor and BACP member, Scott Thorneycroft has three years of practice working with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self esteem and depression. He also supports people facing life changes and related concerns such as body image, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
Scott works from person-centred principles. He combines that approach with other therapeutic methods and some creative techniques. Sessions focus on what a person brings to the room and on practical ways to make things more manageable.
He aims to build a straightforward, respectful relationship with people who come to see him. That relationship is used to explore thoughts, feelings and patterns that are getting in the way of daily life. Scott keeps sessions clear and down to earth so people know what to expect.
Over three years he has supported people with process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography, and with sex addiction. He also helps those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and men’s issues.
Scott practises in the United Kingdom and offers both in-person and remote work according to his original biography. If you want to know the current session formats he is offering, check the booking options before arranging a session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Scott describes his work as rooted in person-centred principles. That approach focuses on listening, respecting each person’s perspective, and helping them find their own solutions. It suits concerns where being heard and understood helps reduce stress and anxiety.He also combines person-centred work with other evidence-based techniques and some creative methods. These additional methods can offer practical tools for managing addictive behaviours, improving mood, or working through issues like guilt and shame. Creative techniques can help people express difficult feelings when words are hard to find.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Scott will work with each person to agree what helps most, based on their needs and goals. That means adjusting methods over time if something is not working as hoped.
If you are considering remote counselling, check the current session formats before booking. The original biography indicates he has worked remotely, but does not list specific remote formats here, so confirm the options when you arrange a session. Remote work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so counselling fits more easily into daily life.
