About Adam

Adam Knight is a counsellor who practices from a client-centred perspective. He believes each person is the expert on their own life and brings a respectful, listening approach to sessions. Adam aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive for anyone considering help.

He draws on 15 years of experience working with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. He also works with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, anger, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of life changes. He supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career decisions, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Adam uses client-centred methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to tailor the work. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and then trying practical steps together to shift thoughts and patterns. Sessions balance present-day coping with understanding past influences when that helps.

People who come to him often want straightforward conversations and clear next steps. He offers a calm space to talk through problems and to set small, achievable goals. The focus is on building the client’s own resources and helping them move forward at their pace.

To begin, a simple sign-up and matching process pairs someone with Adam and arranges sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Adam’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the client’s own goals guide the work. It helps people who want to be heard and to build confidence through empathic conversations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and coping with stress.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships. This can help when someone wants to understand recurring patterns or the roots of long-standing issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Adam will work together with clients to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and what they prefer. That collaborative process may mix listening-focused work with practical CBT tasks or deeper psychodynamic reflection.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family life, reduce the need to travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a format that fits their energy level, such as a less visual session when they prefer not to be on camera.
