About me
Hi, I’m Scott, a Relational Integrative Psychotherapist registered with both the UKCP and BACP. I work with adults aged 18 and over, both individually and as couples, offering in-person psychotherapy and counselling from my private practice in Belgravia, close to Victoria Station, as well as online.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss or a significant change in your life. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or find yourself struggling with thoughts, feelings or behaviours that are difficult to understand or change. At other times, there may be no single crisis or obvious explanation — you might simply want to understand yourself, your relationships or your experiences more deeply.
Life, and navigating the world we live in, doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Therapy offers a confidential space to slow things down, explore what is happening and begin to understand yourself more deeply. Together, we can look at how past experiences may be influencing the present, recognise recurring patterns, explore what is and is not within your control, and consider different choices and ways of responding to the challenges you face.
My approach is warm, collaborative and tailored to the individual. I believe effective therapy begins with feeling genuinely heard, understood and able to speak openly without judgement. My role is not to tell you how to live your life or provide ready-made answers, but to work alongside you in developing greater understanding, awareness and confidence to make choices that feel right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed five years of postgraduate-level professional training in psychotherapy, during which I gained a Postgraduate Diploma, a Master’s degree, and a specialist Postgraduate Certificate in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling.
My training included:
Foundation training in Psychotherapy and Counselling
Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling
Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling
Postgraduate Certificate specialising in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling
I am a Relational Integrative Psychotherapist and a Registered Clinical Member of the UKCP, Registered Member of the BACP and Accredited Member of the NCPS. I am also an International Member of the American Psychological Association (APA).
Alongside my private practice, I have worked within NHS Talking Therapies, supporting people experiencing depression and a wide range of emotional, psychological and relational difficulties. I have experience working in both short-term and longer-term therapy, including open-ended private psychotherapy and more structured, time-limited work within NHS and health-insurance settings.
As a Relational Integrative Psychotherapist, I do not believe that one therapeutic approach is right for everyone. My training and experience allow me to draw from a range of approaches and tailor our work to the individual, including:
Humanistic and Person-Centred Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Attachment Theory
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Existential Psychotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques
Person-Centred Experiential Therapy for Depression (PCE-CfD)
Since qualifying, I have continued to develop my practice through further specialist training, clinical work, regular professional supervision and ongoing professional development.
I speak English, Swedish and French, as well as some Italian, which further informs my understanding of different cultures and ways of communicating.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I offer both short-term and longer-term psychotherapy, depending on your needs, circumstances and what you hope to gain from therapy. Sessions are available in person from my private practice in Belgravia, a short walk from Victoria Station, as well as online.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call before beginning therapy. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has led you to seek therapy, what you may be looking for, and to get a sense of whether working together feels right for you. There is no obligation to continue afterwards.
My availability varies, so please feel free to contact me to discuss current in-person or online availability.
