Angie Knight

I am currently accepting new clients, and have flexible availability.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck or low?

Perhaps you want to address a difficult relationship you’re currently experiencing, or have in the past.

Are you noticing your current reactions or defences, and want to better understand these behaviours to help you move forward?

Or maybe you want to understand yourself better, explore who you are and the relationships you foster in life.

I appreciate that entering therapy can be daunting. I can help you channel new perspectives to increase your self-awareness, and address the roots of difficult thoughts and emotions. Together, we will work to understand and change the patterns that aren’t serving you, to help you ultimately live a more positive and fulfilling life.

We often carry certain messages and beliefs about ourselves, usually starting in childhood, which direct our behaviour as adults. These can be self-limiting and through feeling shame and discomfort we can employ defence mechanisms to help us manage. I can help you by looking beneath these defence mechanisms, reframing unhelpful thought processes and letting go of limiting beliefs.

I will help you explore different parts of yourself, so you can feel more comfortable in your skin and help strengthen the significant relationships in your life. I am curious about unconscious patterns we repeat and the role our early experiences play in shaping these behaviours. I invite you to explore such early experiences & your family system to understand the root of why you may act/think in certain ways; pinpointing certain roles & dynamics to help you identify the patterns you are still carrying that didn’t start with you & begin to create new ones through awareness, self-compassion & choice. 

I am an Integrative Counsellor, meaning my approach is a blend of various modalities of therapy so I can tailor my service to the person I am working with. I was drawn to this style as it recognises people as individuals, and that different styles work for different issues. The approaches I mainly draw from are Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and CBT.

I see counselling as an explorative and empowering process, where we will navigate your thoughts and feelings to help make sense of your experiences, and move towards personal growth by establishing new, helpful ways of thinking. Successful outcomes in therapy are directly linked to a positive therapeutic relationship between you and I, and I prioritise this in my work.

I currently offer sessions online via Zoom. I offer a free 20-minute introductory session for us to see if we are a good fit, where we will discuss what brings you to therapy and how I can help.
