About Leigh
BACP counsellor Leigh Newton has seven years' experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions and neurodiverse needs. He helps people who are struggling with stress, relationships, family problems, self-esteem and life transitions. Sessions are in English and he practises in the United Kingdom.
Leigh describes psychotherapy as a specialist talking treatment. He uses therapy to help people understand and work through difficult emotions, repeated patterns and challenging decisions. In sessions he focuses on what is happening now in a person's life and how that links to past experience.
His approach draws on Jungian therapy, which looks at deeper patterns and personal symbolism, and psychodynamic work that explores how past relationships shape present behaviour. He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings more clearly and reduce stress in daily life.
Leigh works with people who face complex behavioural needs, including Autism and learning differences. He also supports those dealing with addiction, anger, guilt, isolation and relationship breakdowns. He aims to make the work practical, helping people test small changes between sessions.
To begin, people are invited to use the site process to match with him and arrange a first meeting. He encourages straightforward questions about how the work would fit into someone’s life before booking a session.

How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Jungian therapy looks at recurring images and themes in a person's life. Online work using Jungian ideas can help identify personal symbols and long-standing patterns that affect mood and relationships.Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how earlier relationships influence current behaviour. In an online setting this can mean discussing recent reactions and tracing them back to earlier experiences to understand why certain responses keep happening.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations. These practices can be used between sessions to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Leigh will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adjust the focus as the work progresses. That collaborative step helps make the sessions practical and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. In general, online work can fit more easily around daily life, allow quicker check-ins and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter audio-only conversations when bandwidth or background noise is a concern, while others choose video for face-to-face interaction. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the mix of techniques to suit each person's circumstances.
