About Adam

Adam Knight is a counsellor who works from a strengths-based perspective. He uses straightforward language and a calm approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem and anger. Adam encourages clients to bring their own knowledge of their lives into sessions and treats that personal experience as the starting point for change.

With 15 years of experience, Adam has supported people through depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns and grief. He also helps those dealing with trauma and abuse, sleeping and eating difficulties, and the challenges of career change or parenting. His background includes work with clients exploring identity and LGBT concerns and with people managing compassion fatigue or ADHD related struggles.

Adam draws on a mix of client-centred conversation, practical cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. In practice this means listening closely, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and looking at how past experiences may be shaping current behaviour. Sessions aim to be practical and relevant to daily life.

He describes himself as someone who helps people find small, workable steps. For some people that will be short-term work focused on coping skills. For others it may be a longer conversation about patterns and relationships. Adam asks new clients to try a first session and then decide if the approach feels right.

Adam holds NCPS as his listed credential and works from the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and is available to work with international clients. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with him and schedule their first appointment.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room - the therapist listens, reflects and helps the client lead the conversation. It is useful for people wanting a respectful space to work through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, anger and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Adam will help clients explore which mix of listening, practical skills and reflection feels right. Together they set goals and adjust the work as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Adam about what will work best for timing, session length and how to bring therapy into an everyday routine.
