About

About Adam

Adam Knight uses a person-centred approach to help people work through difficult moments. He speaks plainly and listens for what matters most to each person. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to make early sessions feel straightforward and manageable.

He brings 15 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety and low mood. He supports people facing relationship friction, anger, addiction struggles and issues with self-esteem. He also works with concerns such as trauma, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

Adam blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means he focuses on the client's own goals, helps spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and pays attention to past experiences that shape current feelings. Sessions tend to centre on practical steps alongside time to make sense of personal history.

People who contact him can expect simple, clear talking and pragmatic homework where useful. He also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions when that fits the person's aims. He acknowledges the courage it can take to begin therapy and aims to make the first steps easier to take.

Adam works with LGBT concerns as one of his focus areas and accepts international clients. He is based in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential.

Online support

How Adam's approaches translate to online therapy

Adam uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals, offering empathetic listening and collaboration to help them find their way forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Adam treats this as a joint decision, adapting methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences as sessions progress. He aims to combine practical exercises with time to reflect on deeper patterns so people can see what helps most for them.

Confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people take part from different locations and continue support if they move between countries. Discussing practical arrangements during the first meeting helps shape sessions that fit everyday life.
