About Adam

Adam Knight uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's perspective first. He starts by listening closely and working with people to build practical ways of managing day-to-day pressures. Adam writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on the concerns someone brings, whether that is stress, anxiety or parenting worries.

He has 15 years of experience working in helping roles and holds an NCPS credential. Adam draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and try small changes that can make life easier.

Background and approach

Psychodynamic ideas also inform his work, especially when exploring how past experiences affect current reactions. He blends these ideas into straightforward conversations rather than jargon, so people can try new ways of coping without getting overwhelmed. Adam often helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, low mood, anger and issues with sleep or eating.

He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and work-related stress. Parents concerned about the emotional side of raising children can bring those worries and plan practical steps to manage them. Sessions focus on realistic goals and doable steps between meetings.

He encourages people to recognise their strengths and use those strengths to make steady changes. Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process where small, practical changes add up over time.

Online support

How Adam’s approaches work online

Adam uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people make practical changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so they feel heard and can make choices that suit them. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current patterns, especially when someone wants to understand recurring relationship or intimacy issues. Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use, adjusting as progress is made.

Online work is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short chats or messages work for quick check-ins between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days while keeping a steady course of support.
