Therapists in United Kingdom

Dr Kevin Scott

As a chartered psychologist with extensive psychotherapy training, I know the right questions to ask, to listen to what makes you who you are, to appropriately challenge you and then to develop a way of working that will help you to achieve your therapy goals. I will use techniques adapted to you, to help you to better understand what is happening for you. We can then explore what has been blocking you from leading the life you want to lead, and aid you in developing the insight / coping skills to let you lead that life. Coming to this website you have made the first step. Make the second by booking a free initial consultation through my website.

I offer a conversational style of therapy, both listening to the story brought to the session, and offering information connected to research and my experience to help you make connections to the issues that concern and affect you. My goal is to help you achieve your goals through gaining clarity about your situation, learning more about yourself and experiencing more fulfilment and happiness in your relationships, personal or otherwise.

Would you like someone to really listen to you – who will give you time and space to express how you are, or to explore what might be wrong, without making judgements about you? I’ve been working in this field for over twenty years and can offer a range of approaches for tackling issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship problems. You are welcome to text, email or call me for a free initial chat. See my website for more details about me, how I work and how to make contact.

Sometimes life can feel small. You might feel stuck in a way of thinking or living that no longer fits. Or something may have happened that’s changed how you see everything.
If this sounds familiar, I can help. I offer a safe, confidential space to talk things through and understand yourself better. I came to this work because I believe people don’t need to stay stuck in the situations they find themselves in.
I’m a fully qualified, BACP-registered therapist, trained in psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapy. I work with people 18+ on issues including trauma, sexual assault, addiction, bullying, boarding school, family relationships, domestic abuse and LGBT+ concerns.

I believe therapy can be truly transformative, offering a space to explore past experiences and how they shape our present. This belief comes from my work as both a therapist and a client. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, empowering environment where they can make more productive meaning about their world and relationships.
My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, but when appropriate I also offer constructive challenge. I meet each person where they are, encouraging deeper reflection and new perspectives.
Much of my experience involves supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality.

You may have arrived here because you feel stuck or flat or numb. Or wrung out. No time for you. Always there to help others, and sometimes taking on too much and not knowing how to say no. Boundaries are difficult. Not knowing where your partner (or friend or mother or boss) ends and where you begin. I know that I’m not a fixer – I can’t fix other people. But I absolutely believe people don’t need fixing. In my experience, we generally need a bit of time and space to air our feelings, our stuckness, our chaotic inner experiences with all their pain and uncertainty. I can sit with that uncertainty and pain, and explore it with you very gently.Because I firmly believe that the answers lie where the pain is.

Person-Centred Therapy places particular emphasis on the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. When we work together you will find a warm, accepting, consistent and careful listening ear, free from judgement. This is a very respectful relationship where the focus is on you and your concerns. I aim to offer you a relationship that you can trust and where you will feel safe enough to talk freely about anything you wish.

I will be real with you. No nonsense just a down to earth approach.
I will gently challenge to see what’s REALLY going on.
I don’t just ask ‘how does that feel?’ I help you explore issues with the purpose of achieving change and a better future.
