About Leigh
Leigh Newton is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction, and he also supports those managing ADHD and relationship or family difficulties.
Leigh describes psychotherapy as a specialist talking treatment that helps people look closely at their lives. Sessions focus on understanding difficult emotions, decisions and experiences. He aims to help people identify what feels out of balance in their current circumstances.
Leigh uses approaches drawn from Jungian and psychodynamic thinking alongside mindfulness. In practice this means paying attention to patterns from the past, how they show up now, and simple ways to work with difficult thoughts and feelings in the moment. He invites clients to notice repeated reactions and explore their meaning.
People with complex behavioural needs, autism or learning difficulties are within his areas of experience, and he has worked with addiction and substance issues. He describes his role as helping people talk through challenging behaviour, isolation, guilt or relationship strains so they can make clearer choices about next steps.
Leigh encourages questions before starting and asks people to check the session options available when booking. He works in English and does not take international clients at this time.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Leigh uses Jungian and psychodynamic ideas alongside mindfulness in his practice. Jungian Therapy pays attention to symbols, stories and recurring themes in a person’s life, which can help when patterns repeat in social situations or relationships. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present reactions, useful for understanding long-standing anxiety or attachment concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice overwhelming thoughts and bring calm to difficult moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with clients about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That makes the process collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the listing does not specify them here. In general, online work can help fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or avoid the need to meet in person when that is difficult. Discuss practical arrangements with him when scheduling so sessions fit everyday routines.
