Person-centred counsellor for anxiety and addiction
About Scott
Scott Thorneycroft uses a person-centred approach to counselling. He keeps things simple and focuses on building a trusting relationship so people can talk honestly about what matters to them. Scott has three years of experience offering support in-person and remotely.
He aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental so people can work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. Many people come to him for help with addiction-related issues, including process addictions and sex addiction, and for struggles with body image or feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, life purpose and communication problems. Sessions are tailored to the individual. Scott combines person-centred principles with other approaches and some creative methods to meet different needs.
He listens first, then works with each person to find practical ways forward. He understands how daunting it can feel to ask for help. Scott aims to be steady and present while people make changes at their own pace.
He takes time to understand the situation before suggesting options that fit day-to-day life.

Approaches explained and how online therapy helps
Scott draws on person-centred counselling, which centres on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel understood and able to explore difficult feelings. This approach helps when anxiety, low self-esteem or depression make it hard to talk about what is going on.He also integrates other evidence-based techniques and creative methods to suit specific problems. For example, practical strategies can be used alongside open, supportive listening to manage stress, addictive behaviours and problems with body image or shame.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree what feels most helpful, adjusting methods and pace according to needs, goals and personal preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction without travel, phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while still getting regular support from a registered or accredited professional.
