Just like leader_key + C creates a new window inside a session. Is there a similar shortcut for creating a new session ?Currently, I use leader_key + new

Why not just create a keybinding for that in your .tmux.conf?
These two settings let you create/kill a new session when pressing Prefix S (Shift+s) or Prefix K (Shift+k) respectively:
bind S command-prompt -p "New Session:" "new-session -A -s '%%'"bind K confirm kill-sessionPrefix Shift+s will open a command prompt in the status line, asking for a new session name. It will either create a new session with that name or attach to an already existing session by that name.
There are no predefined shortcuts, the only native way to do it is :
Create session:
tmux new -s session_nameCtrl-B + d to detachReturn to your session:
tmux attach-session -t session_name
From inside tmux you can just do
ctrl+B- then write
:new<enter>
