About Leigh

Leigh Newton helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and related life changes. He offers psychotherapy that focuses on current difficulties, imbalances and the decisions people face. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience.

Leigh describes psychotherapy as a specialist talking treatment that helps people understand and work through difficult emotions and experiences. In sessions he talks through what is happening now, and how past patterns may affect present choices. The emphasis is on making sense of feelings so practical steps become clearer.

He works with a broad range of concerns including relationship and family problems, anger, self‑esteem, career issues and coping with life transitions. He also lists attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and intellectual disability among areas he addresses. Addictions, codependency and problems with control and commitment are also included.

Leigh uses psychodynamic ideas alongside Jungian approaches and mindfulness therapy. That mix supports looking at recurring patterns, symbolic meaning, and learning simple attention and breathing practices to manage distress. Sessions typically involve talking, reflection and learning small practical skills for day-to-day life.

If someone wants further information he invites questions and offers to explain how the work might look. To book a first session people can use the site process to match with a counsellor and arrange an initial meeting.

How these approaches work in an online setting

Jungian Therapy looks at recurring images, themes and symbols in a person's experience to bring new meaning to feelings and behaviour. It can be used where people notice repeating patterns or strong emotional responses that are hard to understand.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity to stress. It is practical for managing anxiety, low mood and helping with focus during difficult moments.

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and situations, helping people notice and change those patterns. It is useful for issues linked to attachment, family problems and longer‑standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree together what to try first. That collaborative process can include trying different ways of working if something does not feel helpful.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check‑ins during a busy day, or removing the need to be on camera for an entire session. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer these practical options to help therapy fit into everyday routines.
