Hi!! My name is Ryan Knight, I am a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist (UKCP & BACP). My areas of work include but are not limited to traumas, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief, childhood wounds, relationship problems, and late diagnosis ADHD. I work with people of any gender, identity or sexuality, and people from all backgrounds and all ages.
I am a compassionate therapist with a calm, caring nature and have a passion for supporting people who are in emotional distress. My background and experience, includes working with vulnerable children for the past 15 yrs as an Ofsted Registered Manager of Childrens homes. During this time, I haven taken 2 homes to Ofsted Outstanding ratings including the home I currently manage.
Early in my career working with young people, I trained to be a Counsellor to better support the children I work with. My learning continued, more recently spending 4 years training to be a Psychotherapist as well as training in DDP, dyadic developmental psychotherapy. As required, since 2010, I have continually completed extensive and ongoing training in regard to children and young people, from self harm to exploitation, and level 5 in safeguarding young people. Also, along with my collegues, I fascilitate a local Mens Mental Health Support Group called LETS.
There are many reasons you may be looking for a therapist, and no “right reason” to seek help. You may have specific aims for your therapy, or you may not be sure why life is feeling challenging. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming or you might feel stuck in situations, relationships or thought patterns that are unhealthy. Pain and struggle are natural parts of the human experience, but we can also be incredibly creative when it comes to trying to protect ourselves, and avoiding difficult feelings. Maybe you want a space where you can talk and be heard. I believe that everyone deserves to have someone in their lives that can listen compassionately and hold a space of non-judgemental understanding. I try to offer that space, first and foremost. I am interested in your unique story, your unique needs, and your unique way of relating to yourself and others.
Whatever brings you to my room, I provide a safe and collaborative space to explore your experiences.Whether you are struggling with a specific issue, or are just looking for more meaning, Transactional Analysis psychotherapy can help you make sense of your past and present situation, and approach your life and relationships with more awareness, self-esteem, direction and purpose, and let go of the pain of the past.
I use a number of well researched approaches to provide professional support tailored to what you require. I will work with you to understand your specific patterns and belief systems for navigating life, how they have been shaped by past experiences, identify patterns you would like to change, and I will walk along side you on that journey of growth. It takes work, but real change is possible, no matter how you feel now. Starting your therapeutic journey can be a scary step which is why I offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss what it is that is causing you distress, and what you would like to change (it's okay not to know). This is also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have. Let's speak about what you would like to get out of therapy and how I can support you to achieve the goals you seek.
I will be offering therapy for children next year, but at the moment I will only be offering sessions with Adults. Spaces will be limited, due to my continuing role working with vulnerable children.
