About Bradley Knight
About Me: Your Trusted Clinical Psychologist
Professional and Compassionate Care
I work mainly with adult clients and focus on providing short to medium termindividual therapy to treat a range of mental health challenges. Prior to entering private practice, I provided mental health support to clients in a variety of public sector settings which include the Outpatient Unit of Valkenburg Psychiatric Hospital, the Metro Central District Office of the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and delivered mental health services to university students in various Higher Education institutions in Cape Town, including Stellenbosch University, Cape Peninsula University of Technology and the University of the Western Cape.

Treatment Approach
I use a range of conventional and innovative therapeutic modalities, depending on the issue being addressed. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed techniques, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT).
When using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) you will be introduced to ways of effectively dealing with negative thoughts and dysfunctional thinking patterns that impact your emotional state, which in turn drives self-defeating behaviour. The idea is to equip you with these tools so that you can learn to do this for yourself when facing life outside of the therapy room. I also have a keen interest in using innovative brain-based approaches such as BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT), particularly when addressing Phobias, Trauma and Loss. I am a Level 1 and Level 2 certified BWRT practitioner and use this technique in daily clinical practice where indicated.
