About Shaun
Shaun Leworthy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBT-related concerns, anger, self-esteem problems, and trauma. He has 12 years of experience supporting people through post-traumatic stress, domestic violence issues and challenges common to young adults. Shaun meets people where they are and aims to create a space for practical change.
Shaun believes people are the experts in their own stories and that existing strengths help move things forward.
Background and approach
He uses clear, straightforward conversation to identify what matters to each person. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and building coping skills that fit day-to-day life. His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Mindfulness Therapy, among other methods.
These are used to reduce distressing thoughts, process traumatic memories and develop present-moment awareness. Shaun also uses solution-focused techniques to set practical goals. People can expect calm, direct support that balances listening with practical tools.
Shaun encourages collaboration on goals and adapts methods to what feels most useful. He aims to help people feel more able to manage difficult feelings and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and are provided online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Shaun works with individuals rather than groups or systemic sessions, and does not accept international clients.

Online support
Online approaches for trauma and anxiety
Shaun uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and then build different ways of responding. CBT is practical and often focuses on patterns that maintain anxiety and low mood.He also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused method used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. EMDR sessions tend to involve guided attention tasks alongside talking through traumatic events to ease their emotional charge.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit each person. He aims to agree a plan together and to adapt techniques if they do not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use facial cues and screen-sharing for materials, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care without travel and allow people to choose what fits their routine.
