Who are Next Step!
Passionate, Approachable Proffessionals
Next Step Psychotherapy& Wellbeing (NSPW) was established in 2013 by our founder Lyndsey Waugh, after struggling to keep up with demand for new contracts and working in schools she knew she couldn’t do it on her own and needed to expand and recruit, she also had a clear vision in what she wanted in a practice and collective therapeutic community, first and foremost put the client at the hear of what we do, to thrive, create sustainability, continue change and evolve and offer a holistic approach to therapy, here NSPW was established.
​
In 2015 NSPW expanded therapeutic interventions within schools even further which still continues to provide the need for specialist therapy in schools to this day, established close relationships with the Wallsend Community partnership as part of the Save the Children group within a national piece of research. It was also around this time we were able to take big strides within training in the Mental Health Sector.
​
Come 2016 now and we are now a “we” with various team members including the first of our trainees starting there placements in schools, we continued to grow opening practice at Monkseaton Clinic in a shared practice,seeing adults, children, teens and couples to be able to offer a more wide range of therapy. Moving on to 2021 we opened a center in Gosforth Clinic we also have a training room ready to offer mental health and educational training, and then more recently 2024 opening our clinic above the library in Monkseaton to our own larger clinic.
​
We are ever evolving in an ever changing world, we currently expanding our training course with including advanced specialist Diploma in Supervision, and so much more to come.
