Hear From
Our Founder
Marcus Scutt
"I am an integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in London and Surrey. My journey into Psychotherapy was not straightforward. Through my own lived experience of pre-verbal trauma, depression and addiction, it led me not only to my knees and into the rooms of 12-Step recovery meetings, but also therapy in my mid-20s. This process of exploration and healing changed my life.
"It gave me valuable insights into a deeper understanding of myself, my past, my unresolved issues and the patterns that had moulded me. More than that, it showed me that change is possible, no matter how hopeless we feel. This journey led me to train as a therapist myself, and over the years, my work has included numerous clinical and abstinence-based settings. My experience has spanned working in mental health and substance misuse organisations, with roles as a recovery support worker, group facilitator, trainee counsellor, and qualified psychotherapist. Additionally, supporting individuals and clients in various mutual aid and abstinence-based groups.
"During this time, I have had the privilege of working with others facing a wide range of issues – trauma, addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and more. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, honesty, and presence. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Each person brings a unique story, and my role is to meet them where they are, without judgment.
"Beyond my work, I am a husband and a father. These relationships continue to shape me, reminding me that growth is an ongoing process and that the connections we build with others are central to healing. I have been sober for many years now, and I understand that recovery is about more than stopping destructive behaviours, it’s about rebuilding a life with meaning, connection and self-acceptance. Over time, I have learned that healing isn’t always about fixing; it’s about understanding, accepting, and personal growth. I am always learning from my clients, my own experience and my ongoing personal development and study, because what I do is always a process and not an event.
"Within my work, I have helped others find clarity and strength in their experience. I have seen time and time again how people, even in their darkest hours, have the capacity for change and transformation. If you’re someone who’s struggling or if you’re curious about how therapy might help, I welcome you to reach out. You don’t have to carry it alone."
The CALM Difference
At CALM, we believe that therapy should honor and reflect each individual’s unique story. No two people are the same, which is why we take an integrative approach to psychotherapy.
Rather than relying on a single method, we combine the most effective elements of various counselling techniques to create a personalized experience that meets you exactly where you are.
Flexibility
We adapt our methods to fit your needs, using techniques that are intuitive, relatable, and impactful.
Holistic Healing
Our goal is not just symptom relief but deeper healing and self-discovery.
Personalized Care
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand your unique challenges and goals.
Your Expected Journey
Understanding Your Needs
The process begins with listening. We work with you to create a user-centred plan tailored to your goals and priorities.
A Flexible Approach
We adapt therapy to suit your preferences, whether that means exploring past experiences, learning mindfulness techniques, or simply talking things through.
Practical Tools for Daily Life
Beyond self-exploration, we provide actionable strategies to help you manage stress, improve communication, and create balance in your life.
What Our Clients Say
What Our
Clients Say
We’re honoured to support people through meaningful change. Here’s what some of our clients have shared about their experience with CALM Counselling and Life Management.
Marcus is an astonishingly accomplished therapist and counsellor. He's been part of my life for 3 years now and has helped me through some of the biggest challenges I've ever faced. Would recommend him to anyone looking for, well, calm and life management.
Gurbir T.
I have been getting therapy from Calm Counselling for many months now. The therapy sessions are helping hugely with my recovery from addiction. His calm and knowledgeable approach is exactly what I need. Someone who knows what they’re talking about but also listens. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
Adam H.
I can’t recommend Calm Counselling enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen, heard, and supported. My therapist, Marcus, was incredibly empathetic and created a safe space where I could really open up. Every session has helped me gain more clarity and tools to manage my triggers and navigate life’s challenges. Marcus was so understanding that most of my sessions needed to be video calls due to my health and various operations. I have grown so much since starting here. Thank you, Calm Counselling, for making such a difference in my life and continuing to do so with every session.
