About Ian
Ian Newman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. He supports clients dealing with LGBT concerns, addiction, grief and low self-esteem. He also works with career questions and life changes.
Ian is named in the first paragraph to make him easy to recognise. Ian believes people know their own story best. He uses a client-centred approach to listen and follow what matters to each person.
That means sessions focus on the client’s priorities, not a fixed agenda.
Background and approach
He encourages people to notice their own strengths and small steps forward. Mindfulness practice is woven into his way of working. He guides simple attention and breathing exercises to help calm the body and reduce overwhelm.
These practices are offered alongside talking, not as a replacement for conversation. Over six years Ian has worked with a range of concerns including family problems, communication difficulties and issues around attachment. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and troubles with commitment or control.
He frames challenges plainly and helps people try practical ways to cope. Sessions are carried out in English and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works remotely with people in the United Kingdom.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a suitable time and format.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness. These practices can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by giving people tools to notice thoughts and calm their bodies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and adapt methods as the work continues. The emphasis is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
