Steven Worswick, BACP

Steven Worswick is a person-centred counsellor with four years' practice and a BACP registration. He aims to make the first step feel less daunting and works to put people at ease before and during sessions.

He has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career worries, grief and life-changing events. His experience also extends to working with people affected by the criminal justice system and those connected with emergency services through current work with a police force.

Steven describes his style as warm and interactive. He focuses on treating people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people talk things through and find practical ways forward.

Using a person-centred approach, he listens closely to what matters to each individual and adapts the pace to suit them. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify immediate steps that can help, and trauma-focused techniques when past events are central to a person’s distress.

People often come with worries about stress, sleep, eating, addiction or low self-esteem, and Steven helps them explore these issues in straightforward terms. If someone is ready to take a step towards support, he offers a calm, non-judgemental space to start that work.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Steven works from a person-centred perspective that focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to each person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities and pace.

He also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps that can bring relief quickly. This is useful for addressing stress, sleep and coping strategies where actionable changes can make a difference.

When past events are central to someone's difficulty, trauma-focused ideas may be brought in to help process those experiences safely and gradually.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and offer quicker check-ins when needed. Many people find this flexibility helps therapy fit into day-to-day routines.
