I'm experienced at helping to work through problems with stress, anxiety and depression, change unwanted habits or behaviours and navigate pressures and conflicts affecting you, your relationships, your work or your family life.

My approach is to provide a confidential, non-judgemental space where we can talk through your experiences to gain clarity and insight, and develop a plan of manageable steps you can take to deal with problems in a way that leads to genuine change for you.

I specialise in a combination of therapeutic approaches: Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Therapy (CT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCBT).

These are practical, evidence-based approaches in the tradition of cognitive behavioural counselling and psychotherapy (CBT) which focus on helping you take consistent action to create positive change and remain resilient when you face challenges.

I'm based in Hampstead/West Hampstead NW3 and also offer sessions via Skype, Zoom or phone. For a confidential conversation about how I can help you, please call me on 07956 283 702 or email me at owen@owennewman.co.uk.
