Scott
BACP Trainee Counsellor Online
Working towards qualification doesn't mean working without care or attention. Scott brings genuine commitment to every session, and the same respect for confidentiality, pace and safety that runs through the rest of the team's approach.
How does lower-cost online counselling work?
Scott has been carefully selected to join Place to Talk Therapies and is training to recognised professional standards. Like every counsellor here, he is insured, ICO registered and Enhanced DBS checked.
Sessions take place online, giving you the flexibility to access support from wherever feels comfortable, and his clinical work is closely and regularly supervised throughout his training.
Getting started begins with a short enquiry, followed by a free 30-minute introductory call with our lead counsellor and clinical supervisor. This gives us a chance to understand what's brought you to counselling and check that lower-cost online support is a good fit for your needs. If it is, you'll be introduced to Scott for your first full session, with ongoing oversight through his regular supervision.

As part of our regular clinical supervision, a requirement of the BACP Ethical Framework, each counsellor reflects confidentially on aspects of their work with an experienced supervisor, to support good practice and ongoing development. Your identity is never shared by name in these conversations. If, after your introductory call, either of us feels a different type of support would suit you better, we'll explore other options with the team. If lower-cost counselling is the right fit, you'll continue working with the same counsellor throughout, with regular supervision in place the whole way through.
How Scott works
Scott offers a space to talk openly, without needing to have the right words ready or a clear sense of where to start. Sessions are collaborative, moving at whatever pace feels right for you, and grounded in the same trauma-informed, non-judgemental approach used across Place to Talk Therapies.
How many sessions will I get?
Lower-cost counselling with Scott is offered in an initial block of 12 sessions. Towards the end of this block, you and Scott will discuss how things are going and, if you're both in agreement, sessions can usually continue in blocks of 6 weeks recurring.
What if I want to stop or take a break?
There's no obligation to use all the sessions in a block, you and Scott can agree to end sooner if that feels right. Should anything change, we'll always talk with you about the options available, including being matched with another member of the team.
