About Leigh

Leigh Newton is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and life changes. He works with practical worries like stress, career decisions and relationship problems. Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at helping people make sense of what they are going through.

Leigh describes psychotherapy as a specialist talking treatment. He uses conversation to help people understand difficult feelings and the choices they face. That can include looking at past experiences that still affect day-to-day life.

Background and approach

He draws on Jungian ideas to notice patterns and symbols in a person’s life, and on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships shape current behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people slow down and manage overwhelming emotions in the moment. Leigh has seven years' experience and lists BACP as his professional body.

He works with people who have autism or learning difficulties and those managing addiction or complex behavioural needs. Typical issues he supports include trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, attachment concerns, codependency and ADHD. He also helps with family-related stresses, fatherhood issues, infidelity and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Work can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Leigh's Approaches Work Online

Leigh uses a mix of Jungian and psychodynamic ideas alongside mindfulness in his online work. Jungian therapy looks for recurring symbols and life patterns that make sense of present problems, which can help with identity, emptiness and attachment concerns. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how earlier relationships influence current behaviour and feelings, often helping with repeating relationship problems, guilt and shame.

Mindfulness supports these approaches by giving practical ways to notice and manage strong emotions in the moment. Together these methods aim to deepen understanding while offering tools to cope day to day. Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when someone needs flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
