About Shaun

Shaun Leworthy works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, LGBT-related concerns, anger, low self-esteem and the effects of trauma and abuse. He is a counsellor with 12 years of experience and lists BACP as his professional credential. Shaun speaks English and practices in the United Kingdom.

Shaun treats each person as the expert in their own life. He focuses on practical steps and uses listening, gentle challenge and reflection to help people find what works for them.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to each person, with room to process painful memories and also to build new coping skills. His background includes prolonged work with trauma, domestic violence and post-traumatic stress, along with issues that commonly affect young adults. He blends approaches to match the issue at hand, drawing on methods that help with thought patterns, distressing memories and present-day problem solving.

In sessions Shaun aims to create a steady, respectful atmosphere where people can try new ways of thinking and behaving. He emphasises short-term tools for managing immediate distress as well as longer-term work on underlying patterns. People usually start by talking about what they hope to change.

From there Shaun helps set clear goals and offers a mix of practical exercises and reflective conversation to support progress.

How Shaun's approaches work online

Shaun uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR in his online practice alongside mindfulness-based ideas. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease anxiety and low mood through practical exercises and homework. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps when past memories continue to cause distress by reducing the emotional charge linked to those memories through structured processing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shaun will discuss goals, listen to what has or hasn’t helped before, and suggest approaches that fit the issue and your preferences. The decision about which method to use is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less data and can fit easily into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit stepped check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, study or family life while using approaches that match the presenting issue.
