Darren Knight

As a fully qualified psychotherapist, I engage with your story and create a space where you can speak freely, explore the meaning of your symptoms, gain insights, and question your personal myths—beliefs that shape your understanding of your experiences. Together, we can actively shape changes that align with your values and hopes.

With experience in the NHS's inpatient and outpatient services,  and bereavement care, I have worked extensively with sexual and domestic abuse, loss, identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. I draw primarily from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives, tailoring therapy to your unique needs.

Within a safe and confidential space, our work will explore how past experiences shape patterns that may no longer serve you, fostering self-awareness and encouraging healthier ways of relating to yourself and others for lasting change. 

I am a lecturer at Goldsmiths University's psychotherapy programmes and maintain a private practice in Notting Hill for in-person sessions. I offer both in-person and online sessions, with options for short-term or long-term therapy to suit your preference.

I offer an initial free twenty-minute video or phone consultation to assess and explore your concerns. This consultation provides an opportunity for you to get a sense of my approach and express your hopes and expectations for therapy, as well as ask any questions you may have. Following this, 50-minute sessions will be at the same time each week.
