Andrew Newton

In my practice I try to cultivate a safe environment that is open, curious and welcoming to help you share your experience and develop a more mindful awareness and deeper understanding of how thoughts, feelings and actions impact your relationship with yourself, the world and those around you.

There is an ongoing invitation to explore at depth what stops you from being who you really want to be, to rediscover and reconnect with what's alive in you and allow you the possibility of changing unhelpful patterns.

I believe strongly that the therapeutic process should be both creative and collaborative, naturally developing according to what is important and of value to you the client, while respecting your individuality and uniqueness as a person.

I'm a BACP registered, Integrative Counsellor which means that although my work is largely Person Centred I also draw from other therapeutic approaches such as Gestalt and Psychodynamic theory whenever they can be helpful to the work.

Although counselling can feel challenging at times, when compassion and creativity are at the heart of the work, it is a rich relational process that can lead to spontaneous moments of awareness, insight, joy, humour, clarity and freedom.
