About Shaun

Shaun Leworthy is a BACP counsellor with 12 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. He offers a calm, direct style and aims to help people find small, practical steps that make a difference.

Shaun treats each person as the expert in their own life and works alongside them to build on existing strengths. His approach balances practical tools with reflective work.

Background and approach

Shaun uses trauma-focused methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage distressing thoughts and reactions. He also uses EMDR and mindfulness techniques when these fit a person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.

Shaun helps people notice patterns, try new coping strategies, and review what is or isn’t working. He focuses on clear, manageable actions rather than long lists of abstract goals. He has particular experience with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress and issues common in young adulthood.

That experience shapes how he works with people who have been through scary or overwhelming experiences, with care for pacing and safety. Shaun practises in the United Kingdom and uses approaches that suit each person’s situation. He aims for a collaborative relationship where goals are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed.

How Shaun's approaches work online

Shaun uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to gently address memories and reactions linked to traumatic events. This method often involves pacing conversations, building stabilising skills first, and slowly approaching difficult memories when someone is ready. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is practical and usually involves clear tasks between sessions to try out new ways of coping.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Shaun aims to collaborate with each person to decide whether trauma-focused work, CBT, EMDR or mindfulness techniques are most helpful. He reviews goals regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working and what the person prefers.

Online therapy with Shaun is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or when people need to fit support around a busy day. These options make it easier to access care from different locations and at different times, while keeping the focus on practical progress and a steady therapeutic relationship.
