About Leigh

Leigh Newton is a counsellor who supports people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. He also helps those coping with autism, learning difficulties and complex behavioural needs. He writes plainly and listens carefully to understand each person's situation before planning next steps.

Leigh describes psychotherapy as a specialist talking treatment. Sessions aim to help people talk through difficult feelings and choices. The focus is on understanding what is happening now and finding practical ways to manage it.

Background and approach

In sessions Leigh pays attention to everyday stresses and the pressures that build up over time. He works with relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, anger and issues around work and life change. He will also address concerns linked to substance misuse and recovery in a straightforward way.

Leigh draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols, psychodynamic thinking about past patterns, and mindfulness practices for staying present. These approaches are used to help people spot repeating patterns and build small, steady changes. He has seven years' experience and holds BACP accreditation.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. Leigh aims to create a calm, clear space for people to talk.

He encourages practical steps alongside reflection so clients leave with things they can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Leigh uses Jungian and psychodynamic ideas alongside mindfulness practices to guide online work. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols and meaning to help people understand recurring themes in their lives and find a sense of purpose. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that come from past experiences and relationships so those patterns can be recognised and changed. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce stress and help with anxiety and mood problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leigh will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on meaning, past patterns or present-moment skills and can adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls provide face-to-face contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in and text messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options help people access consistent support without long travel or time off work.
