My Approach

I believe that we have the capacity to live fulfilling lives in relation with ourselves, with others and our surroundings. However, we can get stuck in patterns of behaving, responding and relating that get in the way of us leading the lives we would like to lead. We might have beliefs about ourselves and how we should be living that are keeping us stuck. Often, we just keep going, even if we feel unease, depression or anxiety. However, our lives can be disrupted by a crisis or change, such as work problems or loss of employment, relationship issues or breakdown, bereavement, questioning our sense of purpose, becoming parents, and many other stressors and events that happen throughout life. At these times, we can suddenly find ourselves with growing levels of anxiety, depression, dissatisfaction, unhappiness, self-criticism or unease that we can no longer manage by ourselves. We might find those things that normally support us and help us get back on track just aren’t working any more.

I offer a supportive, safe, non-judgemental and empathic space where we can explore the struggles you are experiencing together. Our aim will be to raise awareness of your feelings, behaviours, beliefs and ways of relating so you can make choices about how you live.

About Me

Hello, my name is Beth Newton and I am an experienced psychotherapist, offering short-term and long-term counselling and psychotherapy in Nottingham.

I trained at Metanoia Institute in London and have an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy. I also hold a Post-Graduate Certificate in Trauma from Nottingham University and I am a qualified yoga teacher.

As a psychotherapist, I have worked with individuals on a short-term and long-term basis. I have worked as a psychotherapist at a GP surgery, in a university counselling service, at Nottingham Sexual Violence Support Services and in private practice. I have experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, bereavement, general dissatisfaction with ourselves, our relationships and our lives, and trauma, especially trauma related to sexual violence and child sexual abuse.
