When Thoughts and Emotions Keep You Stuck

Many people feel trapped in cycles of worry, anxiety or difficult thoughts. You might find yourself:

  • Overthinking or feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts
  • Avoiding situations that trigger anxiety
  • Feeling stuck despite wanting things to change
  • Struggling to focus on what truly matters in life

Trying to fight or suppress these thoughts often makes them stronger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a different approach.

A Different Way Forward

At the practice of Dr Ian Newey, ACT focuses on helping you develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions.

 

Rather than trying to remove uncomfortable feelings, ACT helps you:

  • Step back from unhelpful thought patterns
  • Respond to emotions with greater flexibility
  • Clarify what matters most in your life
  • Take meaningful action toward your values

The goal is to help you build a life guided by what matters, rather than being controlled by difficult thoughts.

Testimonials

“Working with Dr. Newey has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From my first ever session with him I have felt heard, respected and like he has always understood me.“

“During my first session with Dr Ian, I found him to be very kind, caring, full of empathy and really professional. He put me at ease straight away and this made it easy for me to build up a therapeutic relationship with him.”

“Dr. Newey’s ability to always create a safe and non-judgmental safe space which has always allowed me to open up in ways I haven’t before.“

“For somebody who never believed in therapies to be open to trying EMDR takes real skill from a psychologist!  He always took the time to talk me through what to expect, always knew when to stop or to push me a little further which just demonstrates how professional and experienced he really is.”

“His guidance has helped me discover who I am today and helped me reshape how I overcome challenges and go forward in the world.“

“I am now more self aware. I understand why I feel and think certain ways and he has  helped me to understand my triggers so I am able to live a more fulfilling life.“

“What sets Dr Newey apart from other psychologists is not only his professionalism but his commitment and patience to each challenge I face.“

“Dr Newey’s therapy has been the best, most effective therapy for personal growth I’ve experienced by a country mile. I cannot thank Dr Newey enough for helping me on my journey.“

“I would recommend Dr Newey to anyone who feels that they may benefit from psychological-based therapies, especially trauma-focused therapy. He is kind, caring and a true credit to his profession.“
