My approach is primarily person-centred and integrative, meaning I adapt how I work to suit your individual needs, drawing from Schema Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy and Transactional Analysis.
Hi, I’m Scott. I’m a warm and empathic counsellor who genuinely loves what I do and cares about helping people gain self-awareness and understanding. Because everyone comes to therapy with a unique story, I believe in tailoring our work completely to you. I work integratively, which means we can adapt our approach to suit your individual needs. If you want to work toward specific goals, that’s great. If you prefer a quiet space to reflect and figure things out slowly, we can absolutely do that too. We can meet in a traditional room, online, by phone or outdoors with a walk by the coast in Tynemouth.

My work is primarily informed by Transactional Analysis and delivered through an integrative approach, drawing upon theoretical, relational, and creative methods.
As a psychotherapist with 17 years of practice, I work with couples and individuals to understand the patterns shaping their lives and relationships, make sense of what they are going through, and explore what may be standing in the way of change. Many people who contact me already know that something is not working. They may find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling to express what they really think or feel, adapting around others to keep the peace, or feeling stuck between wanting something different and feeling unable to move towards it.

If you're not sure why you're here, then maybe I can help find out why. You may feel sad or confused, or you may just want to understand what's on your mind.  Therapy can help you explore the issues you are currently having.  Talking to a neutral, non-judgmental person can help you understand your feelings. My approach is flexible, which I believe helps meet the individual's desired outcomes.  I am gentle and self-effacing, and I offer a caring environment to help you openly share your process.

Are you struggling with life? Perhaps you are tired of feeling anxious, low or have experienced a difficult life event which you are struggling to cope with. Do you find yourself consumed by worries and unable to break out of a negative cycle? Would you like a safe non-judgmental confidential space to be heard, understood and find new ways of coping? If so, then counselling, CBT or EMDR may be able to help you find your way forward. I have experience of working with both adults and young people who experience difficulties ranging from anxiety, panic, OCD, worry, low-mood, grief, trauma to relationship difficulties.

I understand that for some people starting therapy may feel daunting. I am interested in building a strong, supportive relationship. My style is warm, genuine, non-judgemental and hopeful. I strongly believe in hope, you may come to therapy feeling ‘hopeless’, if you do, I believe my role is to carry hope, until you are ready to do so yourself. I am interested in people’s stories and finding meaning and making sense of patterns and repetitive unhelpful behaviour. I will encourage self-kindness and quietening internal harsh voices. I may challenge false beliefs about yourself.

Often, people want change but aren’t sure how to do it by themselves. I offer one to one therapy to individuals looking to share their personal struggles and experiences in a supportive environment.  I recognise every human being is unique and the concerns that bring a person to therapy are as wide and varied as the individual. Therefore, therapy will be tailored to meet your specific needs. I founded Essence Psychology & Counselling Service in 2020.  I offer face to face sessions in Hartlepool, as well as online and via telephone.

I work integratively using Transactional Analysis (TA), alongside mindfulness and depth psychology, to help you understand and change long-standing patterns.
Do you feel stuck in a life that looks successful on the outside but doesn’t feel right inside? I work with adults facing burnout, loss of meaning, relationship struggles, or a growing sense that something needs to change. Together we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and understand the patterns shaping your life. From there, we begin to create more clarity, choice, and a way forward that feels more aligned and authentic.
