About Scott
Scott Thorneycroft is a counsellor who uses person-centred principles to guide his work. He draws on those ideas to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels difficult. Scott has three years of experience and supports people both remotely and in person.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions and low self-esteem. He also helps people coping with depression and major life changes. Scott pays attention to issues like body image, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Scott is experienced in supporting people struggling with guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. He also works with men's issues and process addictions such as problematic pornography use, exercise-related compulsion, gambling, and sex addiction. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual.
In sessions Scott aims to build a trusting relationship first. He listens, reflects and helps people find what matters to them. That can lead to clearer choices and manageable ways to cope day to day.
People using his service can meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Scott uses these formats to make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Focus areas and approaches
What Scott works with
Everything Scott lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Scott also combines person-centred ways of working with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. These techniques involve practical strategies to manage strong emotions and addictive behaviours, and activities to improve communication and self-image. They are used alongside listening and reflection to make therapy both practical and personal.
Deciding which approach fits best is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options, try things out and adapt the method to the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative approach means the work evolves as needs change.
Online therapy here can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to connect during busy days or between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
