Carly Knight

I have flexible availability including mornings, afternoons and evenings, and some short term availability on a weekend (weekend rates are full fee only). 

I am still able to offer a small amount of concessionary rates on an individual basis for those on low income and certain benefits, so please ask and I'd be happy to discuss. 

Hi, I'm Carly. I'm a psychodynamic and integrative therapist with a down-to-earth and real approach. I offer warmth, honesty and gentle challenge where needed, so we can do the meaningful work together.

My aim is to offer a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and able to speak freely. You are welcome to bring whatever is concerning you, including anything that comes up as we begin to work together.

I work flexibly and creatively, shaping therapy around you and what feels helpful, keeping flexibility along the way. This may include talking therapy alongside approaches such as timelines, inner-child work, letter writing or other reflective exercises where appropriate.

I work with adults and young people across a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, domestic violence, relationship difficulties and the many challenges that can sit in between. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, ENM-informed, and kink- and fetish-aware.

I hold qualifications up to bachelor's degree level, including diplomas in psychodynamic counselling and counselling children and young people. I have also completed further training in self-harm awareness, safeguarding, education and training, and supporting survivors of sexual abuse and rape and beyond.

I am committed to ongoing professional development and am currently studying at master's level in psychosexual and relationship psychotherapy, due to complete in 2027. I am approved to practise and currently offer a reduced rate for psychosexual and relationship therapy clients.

If you feel I may be the right therapist for you, please get in touch to arrange an initial chat to see if we feel were the right fit to work together.

Access to counselling is important to me, I try to make it as inclusive as possible and understand it can feel like an unjustifiable expense- where as its actually essential to a lot of people.  So I do have some reduced rate slots available for those on low income.  Counselling can also be difficult to schedule in around work and family life.  This is why I offer evenings and limited Saturday morning sessions (Saturdays full price only).

I offer face to face sessions at my private and peaceful space in Burton on Trent. 

I also offer online sessions. 

I offer a free 10 minute consultation phone call where we can have a chat, you can ask any questions and we can see if we feel we'd be a good fit to work together. 

If you then choose to book in, on the first session we will go through an assessment form together.
