Shaun Leworthy, BACP

Shaun Leworthy is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. He works with a broad range of issues including stress, anger, self-esteem, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and young adult challenges. Shaun approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and already holds resources that can help them navigate change. He frames the decision to seek help as an act of courage and aims to offer encouragement and practical support as clients move toward a more fulfilling, happier life. Shaun blends evidence-informed methods with a respectful, collaborative stance so that goals and interventions reflect the individual needs and preferences of each person he works with. As a BACP member, he follows standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, which speaks to his commitment to ongoing professional practice and development.

Shaun fosters a therapeutic environment that emphasises empowerment and gradual progress, helping people to identify strengths, explore difficult experiences, and build new strategies for coping and connection. He aims to support clients at their own pace while encouraging steps toward positive change.
