About Adam

Adam Knight is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works from a person-centred view and believes people hold strengths they can use to face hard moments. Adam aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone nervous about starting therapy.

He focuses on common concerns such as stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related worries, anger, depression and addictions. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career stress and long-term conditions like bipolar and ADHD. Adam includes LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue among his areas of attention.

Adam uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means he listens for what matters to each person, helps uncover patterns that keep problems going, and works on practical steps to change day-to-day thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are framed around the person's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

He holds the NCPS credential, which appears in his professional listing. Adam encourages people to notice their strengths and to try small, manageable changes between sessions. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the pace.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service operates on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Adam's approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people feel heard and understood as they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover past patterns that repeat in current life and bring greater self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adam will discuss the different styles with each person and decide together what fits best. He aims to match tasks and techniques to the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than sticking to one method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as attending during a lunch break or when travel is difficult. It can also allow brief check-ins between longer sessions and makes it simpler to include practical, at-home CBT exercises. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer online work and will explain how a particular format could suit your routine.
