About
Dr Ian Newey is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of trauma-informed therapy experience.
Meet Ian
I’m a Chartered Psychologist (BPS), HCPC-registered, and a member of the Division of Clinical Psychology with over 30 years of clinical experience. My academic background includes a B.Sc. (Hons) in Psychology, M.Sc. in Health Sciences, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Clin.Psy.D.).
I specialise in helping people of all ages understand the social and psychological factors that have led to their difficulties. I have particular expertise working with people with a history of trauma, adversity, invalidation and abuse. I also have extensive experience supporting young autistic people and those with complicated attachments, including those in care, adopted with loving ‘forever’ parents, or with care experience.
I’m trained to use a range of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
My Approach
I’m committed to offering a warm, respectful, and deeply human therapeutic space where you feel understood.
I combine extensive training with decades of clinical work in trauma, emotional distress and young-person therapy. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed – always rooted in empathy, respect and collaboration.
My goal is to help you understand what’s happening for you now, how past experiences might be shaping your day-to-day life, and support you to build resilience, self-compassion and hope for the future.
