Amber Knights
After 4 intensive years of training I am finally coming to the end of studying for a Master’s Degree
(MA) in Gestalt Psychotherapy. For the last year and a half I have put mypassion for Gestalt into
practice and worked as a psychotherapist for numerous NGO’s and Government organisations,
namely Caritas and Victim Support Malta (VSM) as well setting up my own private practice.
Working with the different entities has allowed me to gain priceless experience with individuals
from all walks of life who share their difficult experiences on many levels. I have been particularly
drawn to working with drug addiction and trauma, in particular, domestic violence and sexual
assault.
Voluntary work has also played a huge role in my life. My most recent experience was developing
an art expression group for individuals suffering from eating disorders and addiction. I provided
them with a unique platform for self expression through the medium of art.
Work aside, I am a Mother of 3 children who I adore, and love spending family time with them and
my husband. I am passionate about many things, in particular travelling. I also have a huge
fondness for animals (I am a trained veterinary nurse), sailing, photography, fitness and art when
there is the time. I put my heart and soul into everything I do.
Prior to my career in Psychotherapy I made use of my undergraduate degree in Animal Behaviour
with Psychology (Bsc Hons) and worked as an intern with the Human-Dolphin institute in the USA.
I was part of an animal assisted therapy program where we took people with disabilities and
terminal illnesses swimming with wild dolphins as a form of therapy. I am forever humbled by those
experiences.
I feel honoured to be part of the Sanya team and look forward to my continued growth as a
psychotherapist and in supporting others in their lives. ... Read More Close
