Carly Knight

I am currently taking on a limited number of new clients for walk and talk counselling.  I have various days/times avaialble throughout the week and occasional weekends. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone assessment to see if we both feel it would be a good fit. 

Walk and Talk is taking counselling sessions outside 4 walls and into nature.  Nature, animals and fresh air are naturally healing, and of course the gentle exercise gets those endorphins going, the blood flowing and the lungs working- which all helps reset and regulate the nervous system. Throw a dog in there if you are a dog lover and its a great recipe for a fresh and soothing start to your counselling journey. 

This is great for nature and outdoor lovers who feel this is their safe environment.  Also for those who feel claustrophobic or uncomfortable being one on one in a set room. Its also useful for those that havn't been able to get out for a while for whatever reason, and want a supported and gentle entry back into the world. If you are anxious about leaving your house, I can come and support you in taking that step back into the world together. 

You can switch between outdoor sessions and sessions in my office depending on what you feel you need that week. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions, need more information or want to book a phone consultation. 

*walk and talk sessions require a risk/health assessment and waiver, and safety precautions are taken.

Walk and talk sessions are £55 per 50 minute session and can be in various locations around Burton on Trent. 

I also provide face to face talking therapies in my office in Burton on Trent and limited online sessions. Please get in touch if you require these. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone assessment for us to see if we feel we would be a good fit working together. 

We can decide from there what you would like to do on your first session and location. 

I am pleased to be able to open some new spaces within my practice. 

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 therapist with a history in Person centred counselling. 

Working in an empathetic, safe, non-judgemental space, yet keeping it real, honest and down to earth is what you can expect from a therapeutic relationship with me. I welcome you to explore whatever issues are concerning you, and whatever comes up along the way. I've got you.

I work flexibly and creatively to suit your individual needs.   This can include working with art suppies, clay and any other objects that help you express yourself and feelings, as well as traditional talking therapy. 

I work with adults and young people in all areas.

I have extensive experience in Domestic violence and sexual violence, parenting struggles and womens rights. Men, please dont be put off, you are welcome here! 

 LGBTQIA+ experienced and supporter. 

I am qualified in a number of subjects up to Bachelors Degree level including my Psychodynamic counselling and counselling Children and young people Diplomas, and have completed a number of certificates in subjects such as self harm awareness, Education and training, working with survivors of sexual abuse and rape, safeguarding children and more....and I am commited to my continual professional development.  

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 alot 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 some 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 15 minute consultation phone call where i will do an assessment and we can see if we feel we are suited to work together. 

Please feel free to email me with any enquiries, questions or to book a consultation.
