Paul Newham

I am widely cited as a pioneer of contemporary psychotherapy.

For over three decades it has been my vocation to understand the ineffable nuances of human vulnerability.

I am concerned with how we hurt and how we heal.

I seek to know how we may find compassion for ourselves while shining a light for those troubled and alone in the dark.

For life is often burdensome and always precarious.

Today we may find fault with others and take pride in our certainty.

Tomorrow we may falter in our frailty and lose grip of what we once took for granted.

It is in recognizing this impermanence that we come to know how vulnerable all of us truly are.

I have relentlessly explored myriad ways to comprehend human vulnerability, alleviate deep hurt, and find a way to hope and healing.

I began with the expressive arts and navigated through analytical psychology before venturing into cognitive science and arriving at the threshold of contemplative practice.

Through these pursuits I have earned a reputation for authoritative research and practical expertise.

The methods of therapeutic care and inquiry I have developed are applied by professionals from multiple disciplines, and my publications are standard reference texts on graduate courses.

In addition to my therapeutic work with people in distress, I have been a professor for specialist trainee clinicians and provided supervision for novice and experienced therapists.

Over the past 30 years I have witnessed radical developments in the field of psychotherapy and have studied the evolution of therapeutic techniques in depth.

Currently I am working on two projects.

The first is called ReSynchrony.

This is the culmination of my work exploring how voice and sound can support deep rest and psychobiological synchrony.

Meanwhile, I am developing Voice Movement Therapy, expanding it to incorporate my work in Transformative Arts and Psychological Science, in preparation for training future practitioners.
