Jane Knights

In my counselling and psychotherapy work I use listening skills and empathy to help people explore their concerns in a non-judgmental way. I aim to create a relationship of exploration and openness. I see myself as a companion on a journey of discovery and believe that the relationship that the therapist and client build together is the place where that journey begins. My model is Integrative Psychotherapy.

Many people have areas of their lives that they feel are not working as they used to or have become aware of difficulties that are getting in the way of the lives they want to lead. I have an integrative counselling approach that uses influences and tools from several models to create an individual style for each person.

My working life has been mainly spent in the voluntary sector working with young people, and people who have become homeless. And during that time I became interested in work place issues and careers work.

My particular interest is in supporting people develop their professional work by exploring and reflecting on their work practice. In recent years i have also provided support services and assessments for counselling agencies. I now maintain a private practice and work for IAPT services as a DIT psychotherapist.

I offer supervision for clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists. I also offer workplace supervision for anyone interested in developing their work life and pastoral supervision for clergy and pastoral workers.
