Steve Scott
Steve Scott is a co-founder of Stepping Stones Coaching and CSP Coaching LLP.
He is 51 years old, has been married for nearly 28 years and has 3 children. Steve spent 34 years in retail and retail logistics, both in the UK and in South Africa.
He specialised in supply chain management, getting a BSc from Cranfield University and the Institute of Logistics in 1996. He was awarded the Student of the Year award, collecting this from Princess Anne at a ceremony in London.
During his time in these fields he was passionate about developing people and helping them reach their full potential. However, after such a long time in the same profession, Steve decided to rest his ladder against a different wall and qualified as a Life, Business and Executive Coach. Having had a previous association with Alan Chatting and a shared interest in helping others they decided to create CSP Coaching. Steve specialises in helping clients overcome mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, using a combination of coaching techniques and NLP. He is a certified Master Practitioner of NLP.
As well as being a coach, Steve is currently a voluntary Chairman for the Youth Offending Team, helping young first time offenders stop re-offending.
Steve has recently had his first book published, 'Insiders:Outsiders- Personal Journeys Through Depression From Both Sides of the Divide'. In this candid and courageous account, Steve Scott - a long-term sufferer of severe clinical depression - describes the nightmare he and his family have lived through for so many years. He looks back to his teenage years, where he believes his depression began, and describes how his illness affected both his job and his relationship with himself, his wife and his family. He also enlightens readers as to how he has emerged from some very dark places with the realisation that his depression is a gift to help others in a similar situation.
Also included in this book are some stark and frank accounts from fellow sufferers - 'insiders', and how people who have lived with or cared for sufferers - 'outsiders' have been affected by the illness.
Finally, there is a very interesting perspective from the eyes of a professional and experienced psychotherapist, which helps explain how and why the illness is manifested and perpetuated.
The book is available from www.steppingstonescoaching.org.uk or Amazon and all the other major online bookretailers.
