Pamela Knight

I have some availability Monday - Thursday.

Face to face and online £55 per hour. 

I ask for 24 hours cancellation notice. A therapeutic hour is 50 minutes.

I also offer F2F appointments out of Hungerford RG17.

I support adults 18+ experiencing common mental health difficulties and everyday issues as well as when life throws a curve ball and the future doesn't look as you had imagined. There could be a general feeling of overwhelm, anxiety, depression and stress or perhaps uncomfortable thoughts and emotions you can’t quite explain yet. Alternatively a more specific life stage transition, event, situation or loss may be involved or a combination.

Whatever the issue, I strive to provide the very conditions that may have been missing elsewhere in your life to allow you to express yourself and explore without fear of judgement. From this position of warmth, safety and compassion you can consider new perspectives and find new ways forward.

As well as common mental health and everyday issues I have a particular interest in supporting those whose lives have been changed by injury, illness or caring for someone close to them. This could be due to a sporting injury (amateur, recreational or professional athlete), a chronic illness or finding yourself supporting a loved one with an illness such as Parkinson's Disease or Dementia. An injury or illness can affect far more than the body disrupting a person's sense of identity, routines, relationships, confidence, sense of purpose and future plans.

I have also worked with child and family related issues, the impact of perimenopause, menopause, PMS, PMDD, work/employment challenges, ASD, ADHD, sexual violence survivors, non-offending partners, grief and loss, and those going through a significant period of change or transition such as moving house, job or to university.  

Training and Qualifications:

The Injury Psychologist – ‘Emotion Management for Rehabilitation Professionals in Clinical Settings’

I am an Integrative Counsellor primarily using the Person-Centred Approach yet drawing from other therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy if appropriate to my client's needs. As an Integrative Counsellor I believe that every client and their situation is unique and adapt my approach accordingly.

I am happy to work short or long term, online or in person. Sessions are client led and/or collaborative depending on what's helpful. I don't tell clients what to do but I may challenge them or share external information such as websites, articles and tools that they may find useful.

After receiving an enquiry I will phone, text or email you to introduce myself and to learn a little about how I may support you and you can ask me any questions. During this initial chat we can decide if we are a good 'fit.' There is no charge for this and the conversation usually lasts around 15 minutes.

Should we go ahead, I will send you email confirmation of our first appointment, payment instructions and directions or the Zoom link.

In the first session, I will go over the terms of our work together, collect some more information including about your issue and if you have any particular goals for the therapy (its ok if you don't quite know).  Thereafter the sessions will be bespoke to your needs with regular opportunities to review how you feel the therapeutic process is going.

Some availability Monday - Wednesday.  

Face to face and online £55 per hour.
