Adam Knight
Practical counselling with reflective depth
About Adam
Adam Knight is a counsellor who works in a client-centred way and combines practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy with reflective psychodynamic ideas. He draws on 15 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. He also supports those facing relationship strain, anger, addictive behaviours and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
Adam believes the person in the room knows their story best. He listens for strengths and practical steps the client can use right away.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and small changes that build over time. In practice he mixes short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of patterns that keep repeating. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Psychodynamic perspectives help people notice recurring themes from past experience that shape current feelings and relationships. His approach suits people dealing with grief, trauma and compassion fatigue as well as concerns about intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting stress, career shifts and ADHD-related challenges. He also offers support around bipolar symptoms and coping with life changes.
Clients can expect calm, straightforward sessions that balance practical strategies with reflective work. Adam aims to help people build confidence, manage triggers and create clearer ways forward.

How Adam’s approaches work online
Adam blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to offer practical online support. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building on their strengths to set useful goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and habits and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and emotional themes so people can understand how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with short-term CBT exercises, then moving to deeper psychodynamic reflection, or combining elements from both depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life or relocation and allow access from different locations and time zones.
