EMDR Consultant, Logotherapist & Existential Analyst
Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way - Victor Frankl

He is also experienced in working with clients who have relationship issues, career concerns, are grieving, or who are looking for meaning and purpose in their lives. Scott is an Accredited Member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), an Accredited Fellow of the International Society of Psychotherapy and Counselling (ISPC), an Accredited Member of the International Society for Logotherapy & Existential Analysis, and a Member of the EMDR All-Ireland Association.
"I have an eclectic background in senior management, pastoral care, and mental health advocacy, This very much informs my approach to therapy. For me, effective therapy comes from a positive interraction between the client and the therapist. It is my view that life experience should be brought to bear in the therapy room. My approach is informal and tailored to the needs and goals of my clients. I understand coming to therapy can be a difficult step to take; that is why I'm passionate about client care."
