Ms Tanya Knott

Psychotherapist

“I work with adults, children and teens struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, and change. My clients are often living in a state of stress and survival and are stuck in cycles of fear, overthinking, and self-doubt. If this sounds familiar, I can help you to feel safer, calmer, and more self-assured.”

About Me

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or the weight of change. If you're caught in cycles of fear and overthinking, struggling to navigate daily life, I understand. My work helps adults, children, and teens gently unravel these patterns. Together, we explore what keeps you stuck and build practical ways to feel safer and more self-assured. I offer a compassionate space where your unique journey is truly heard.

Approach

When stress has you operating on autopilot, my work focuses on slowing the pace so you can notice what's happening in your body and choices. In Central Hong Kong or online in English, sessions blend short experiential practices, clarity-building questions and practical homework that help you test small changes between meetings. I hold a steady, collaborative rhythm—calibrating steps so they feel doable and relevant to your day-to-day. This way of working suits people who want tangible shifts without pressure or perfection.
