Scott Fitzgerald, NCPS

Scott Fitzgerald works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and LGBT issues. He also helps with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Scott uses plain language and warmth to help people take practical steps forward.

Scott trained as a counsellor and holds NCPS. He has four years of professional experience. He aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. He keeps the focus on what feels useful for each person.

Scott blends talking therapies with exercises from cognitive behavioural therapy. He helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of coping. He also draws on client-centred and mindfulness ways of working to slow things down and build self-awareness.

When relationships are the focus, he uses Imago relationship ideas to look at interaction patterns and improve connection. He will also use psychodynamic thinking where helpful to look at past patterns that affect present life.

Scott works at a pace set by each client. He aims to be practical, compassionate and occasionally light-hearted when it helps. People meet with him to sort immediate problems or to understand themselves more deeply, depending on their goals.

How Scott’s approaches fit online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change how someone copes with anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will discuss different ways of working and together you will choose what feels most useful for your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can fit into busy lives by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options, which can make sessions more manageable around work, childcare and other commitments.
