About Kingsley
Kingsley Boateng is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief and identity questions. He offers an open, respectful space for people exploring sexual and gender identity and matters related to LGBT experience. His approach is warm and collaborative.
He listens first, then works with each person to set simple, practical goals. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what feels most urgent in daily life.
Background and approach
Kingsley uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to suit different needs. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and attachment-focused ideas alongside client-centred listening. That mix is chosen to help people spot unhelpful patterns and develop new ways of coping.
Common issues he supports include stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and long-term mood problems such as bipolar and depression. He also helps with sleep and eating concerns, addiction, career worries and the strain of caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and Akan and he works with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
Kingsley is a member of BACP and NCPS, and has seven years of clinical experience in counselling and therapeutic work. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions based on therapist availability.

How his approaches work online and together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and then commit to small actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, pace and preferences, and will adjust those choices as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes continuity simpler for people who live abroad or travel frequently. Registered or accredited professionals usually explain which session formats they offer when you complete the initial matching questionnaire.
