About Steven
Steven Worswick is a BACP counsellor who aims to make the first step feel easier. He speaks from personal experience about how difficult reaching out can be and focuses on helping people feel more comfortable before sessions begin. He practises person-centred work and uses that warm, interactive style in sessions.
He listens closely and responds with care, helping people talk through anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, sleep or eating problems, and career-related stress.
Background and approach
Steven has four years of counselling experience and has worked with people affected by trauma and the criminal justice system. He currently works with a police force and has experience with emergency services personnel, so he understands the pressures those roles bring. Sessions are run with respect and sensitivity.
He aims to create a calm space where people can say what they need to and be heard without judgement. His approach is practical and focused on what the person wants to achieve. People who find direct, compassionate conversation helpful may find his style a good fit.
He is comfortable supporting those navigating adoption and foster care challenges, older-age concerns, attachment and blended family matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and other complex life issues.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps them clarify their own goals; this can suit worries like low self-esteem, anxiety, or relationship strain.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move things forward. It asks what is already working and builds on it, which can help with stress, coping with life changes, and setting clear goals.
Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to address the impact of traumatic events by pacing work and using strategies to reduce distress as people recall difficult memories. It can be helpful for people dealing with past abuse or other traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. This decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Practical benefits may include shorter check-ins when needed, easier attendance during work breaks, and fewer travel requirements, all of which can help people sustain regular sessions.
