Leigh Newton

As a professionally trained psychodynamic psychotherapist, I support people with a wide range of difficulties, including challenges at work or in study, depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, obsessive patterns, sexuality-related concerns, relationship issues, and feelings of lost purpose or direction. And even if your experience doesn’t fall neatly into any of these areas, therapy can still be a space for exploration, insight, and understanding.

My approach is centred on the struggles, stresses, and questions you may be facing—whether they come from your outer circumstances or your inner world. This can include the challenges you meet in daily life, the patterns that repeat without you quite knowing why, or the feelings that sit just beneath the surface and feel hard to name. Together, we pay gentle attention to both your current experiences and the deeper emotional currents that shape them, creating space to understand what’s happening, why it might feel this way, and how change can begin to unfold.

The sessions usually last for 50 minutes and we can schedule them once per week at a time that is convenient for you. 

I have provided my current availability, but if it doesn't work for you, let me know and I will try to accommodate your schedule.

To help you understand the therapy process, I provide an introductory assessment session where you can meet me and ask any questions you have. 

We can also talk about the reasons why you are seeking therapy and establish goals for the process. Before the session, you will need to complete a Pre-Assessment form. 

The assessment session usually takes 30 to 40 minutes, which is shorter than a standard session which lasts 50 minutes. 

The fee for the assessment session is £40.
