About Shaun
Shaun Leworthy is a counsellor who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship strain. He has 12 years of experience and works with issues such as trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and LGBT-related concerns. Shaun emphasises respectful, practical conversations aimed at small, steady changes.
He sees each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building tools they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Shaun aims to make the work straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life rather than full of jargon. Shaun uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused approaches to help manage difficult feelings and reactions. He also draws on mindfulness practices to develop awareness and Solution-Focused ideas to identify what a better day looks like and how to get there.
In sessions Shaun listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try new ways of responding. He offers practical exercises and short-term goals to test what works. Over time the aim is to reduce distress and increase choices in how people cope.
Shaun is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He works with adults and addresses young adult issues and the impacts of domestic violence and post-traumatic stress when relevant.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together the client and Shaun decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and tailored to each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which together offer flexibility. Video sessions are useful for more in-depth discussions and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits quick check-ins or shorter weekly contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caring commitments while keeping continuity between sessions.
