Steven Worswick , BACP

Steven Worswick is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people who feel nervous about reaching out. He builds a calm, respectful space and focuses on helping people feel understood before they talk about difficult issues. Steven holds BACP accreditation, which appears after his name as BACP.

He uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. That means listening first, following the person's pace, and helping them work out what matters most. He also draws on solution-focused methods to set clear goals and trauma-focused approaches when painful events need careful attention.

Steven has four years of counselling experience and has worked with people facing many challenges. These include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and depression.

He has additional experience with adoption and foster care matters, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and concerns linked to domestic violence and substance use. He also supports people navigating career changes and coping with natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Steven’s manner is warm and interactive; he aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect and to help people find practical steps forward.

How Steven’s approaches translate to online therapy

Steven uses person-centred work and solution-focused methods to guide online sessions. Person-centred therapy means the session follows the client's concerns and emotional pace, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting what matters most. That approach helps when people need space to make sense of feelings such as grief, anxiety or low self-esteem.

Solution-focused work concentrates on practical steps and small changes. In online sessions it can mean setting short-term goals, testing new coping ideas between meetings and checking what helped. Trauma-focused methods are used when past painful events affect day-to-day life; this involves careful pacing, stabilising skills and working through memories in a way that suits the individual.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and together with the client decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. Adjustments can be made as the work progresses.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone calls need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins; chat and messaging are helpful for shorter updates or when writing is easier. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties or travel.
