About Leigh
Leigh Newton is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction and other difficult feelings. He works with clients who struggle with stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem and life changes. Leigh also supports people navigating trauma, anger and attention difficulties such as ADHD.
He uses talking therapies to help people make sense of painful experiences and confusing behaviour. Sessions aim to uncover patterns that keep problems repeating and to find practical ways to cope day to day.
Background and approach
Leigh draws on Jungian ideas to explore meaning, psychodynamic thinking to look at repeated patterns, and mindfulness to build calm and focus. Leigh has seven years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He works with adults and those with learning differences, including Autism and intellectual disability, and with people affected by addiction or substance use. In sessions he focuses on what feels most pressing right now and on small steps that help people feel steadier. Conversations can cover family dynamics, fatherhood issues, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Leigh offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
How Jungian and Mindfulness Work Online
Jungian therapy looks at stories, symbols and patterns in a person's life to find meaning behind recurring feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty or constantly repeats the same relationship problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and manage anxiety in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leigh will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt methods collaboratively so sessions fit the person and their situation. That way the approach evolves as therapy progresses rather than being fixed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit into busy days or provide ongoing written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule alongside work, family and other commitments.
