About Leigh
Leigh Newton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He supports people who are struggling with trauma, relationship and family concerns, anger, low self esteem and life changes. Leigh also works with people navigating ADHD, autism and learning differences.
Leigh describes psychotherapy as a specialist talking treatment. He uses conversations to help people understand difficult feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what underlies those struggles.
Background and approach
In practice he draws on Jungian ideas to look at personal patterns and meaning. He uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and manage stress in daily life. Psychodynamic thinking helps him trace how past relationships and experiences shape current reactions.
Leigh aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Meetings explore specific problems such as codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, control issues and feelings of emptiness. He also addresses issues like addiction, guilt, shame and isolation.
With seven years of experience and BACP registration he offers a calm, reflective space to talk things through. He describes his role as helping people work out what matters to them and supporting steps forward. If you have questions about the approach he invites you to ask.
How Jungian, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic Work Online
Jungian therapy looks at recurring life themes and personal symbols to help people make sense of patterns. Online sessions can support this work by allowing time to reflect on dreams, imaginal material and repeated behaviours that cause distress.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce stress and manage intrusive thoughts. These skills translate well to video or phone sessions where a therapist can guide short exercises and check how they feel in daily life.
Psychodynamic work explores how past relationships shape present reactions and choices. Talking by video, phone, chat or messaging makes it possible to notice those patterns between sessions and bring examples into the room for discussion.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Plans can adapt over time as understanding grows.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls give visual contact for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing check-ins and written reflection between meetings, helping therapy fit around work and family life.
