Steven Worswick, BACP

Steven Worswick is a BACP counsellor who offers approachable, person-centred support for people facing major life challenges. He recognises how daunting it can feel to reach out and will focus on making the first steps easier. His manner is warm and welcoming so people can start talking at their own pace.

He has four years' experience working across a wide range of difficulties. These include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and depression. He also helps people cope with life changes such as separation, career shifts and the impact of caring for others.

Steven draws on client-centred ways of working, aiming to listen carefully and respond to what each person needs in the room. He also uses solution-focused ideas to help set practical, achievable goals. For trauma-related concerns he applies trauma-focused methods to address distressing memories and reactions.

His style is interactive and respectful. He aims to create a space where people feel heard and treated with sensitivity and compassion, whatever they bring to a session. He has experience supporting people who have had contact with the criminal justice system and those in emergency services roles.

If someone is ready to start, Steven asks them to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a session. He will work with the person to agree on next steps and suitable goals for therapy.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance to help people talk through stressful or confusing feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-minded. It concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what can be changed now to improve daily coping and routines.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of past traumatic events and uses methods to reduce their ongoing impact. This can help when symptoms, memories or strong reactions interfere with life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose or combine methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences rather than using a fixed plan from the start.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, offering shorter check-ins during busy days, or enabling sessions when it would otherwise be difficult to leave work or care duties. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the practical set-up to help sessions feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
