About Shaun
Shaun Leworthy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has 12 years of professional experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Shaun also works with LGBT concerns, anger and low self-esteem.
He aims to create a calm, straightforward space where someone can talk through what is worrying them and start to make small changes. Shaun believes the person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work.
Background and approach
He listens for those strengths and helps people apply them to everyday problems. Sessions are practical and grounded, with a focus on what can change now rather than only talking about the past. He uses a mix of approaches that match what each person needs.
Techniques might include breathing and mindfulness exercises to reduce stress, solution-focused steps to try between sessions, and trauma-focused work where it helps. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also part of his toolkit when trauma memories are being addressed. Shaun is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, showing his commitment to professional standards.
He works online using a range of formats so people can choose what fits their life. Shaun aims to support people gently while helping them build practical skills for managing anxiety and stress. People who contact him usually start with a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their routine.
Shaun encourages questions up front so the first meetings can focus on what matters most to the client.
How Shaun's approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood and includes practical homework to try between sessions. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, helps when past events still cause strong reactions; it uses guided recall and bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve concentration.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaun will listen to what is most troubling, discuss options and agree a path together. He adapts methods as progress is made and checks in regularly so the work matches the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy makes this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and EMDR where appropriate. Phone sessions are useful for quieter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, written reflections or people who prefer not to use audio. These options help therapy fit around work, study or family routines and let people choose how they feel most comfortable engaging.
