Meet the Founder & Counsellor
About the person behind Forge Mental Health
About Peter Knight - Member of the ACCA
Forge Mental Health was founded by Peter Knight, whose passion for counselling is deeply shaped by both personal insight and lived experience.
Peter understands the importance of feeling safe, seen, and genuinely accepted in the counselling space. He brings a grounded, compassionate, and real-world approach to supporting clients through life’s challenges, particularly those related to identity, connection, emotional wellbeing, and self-worth, and connections within the LGBTQ+ community.
Peter’s journey has also been shaped by significant personal experiences, including major health challenges, relationship and friendship struggles, and navigating difficult family dynamics. These experiences have helped build a deeper understanding of resilience, vulnerability, emotional pain, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
With warmth, honesty, and a strong belief in growth, Peter created Forge Mental Health to offer a space where clients, especially men and LGBTQ+ individuals, can feel supported in working through what life throws at them, while building a stronger and healthier relationship with themselves.
Our Mission
At Forge Mental Health, our mission is to empower individuals, particularly men and members of the LGBTQ+ community, to build stronger minds through compassionate support, emotional resilience, and personal growth. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients can navigate life’s challenges, strengthen their wellbeing, and move forward with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
