About Kingsley
Kingsley Boateng is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. He draws alongside clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He offers an affirming space for LGBT people and those exploring identity and relationships.
He works in a warm, collaborative way and aims to make sessions feel respectful and unhurried. Sessions focus on listening first, then noticing patterns and practical steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Kingsley adapts his approach to each person’s pace and goals. His practice uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred work to help with thinking, feeling and behaviour. He also uses ideas from Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where they fit a person’s needs.
The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies rather than technical jargon. People come to him for a wide range of concerns including stress, parenting, relationship matters, addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also supports issues connected to adoption, caregiving, body image and long-term health challenges.
Kingsley has seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He speaks English and Akan and sees people from the UK and internationally. Practical access is offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, sleep and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect close relationships now; it can help people understand trust, intimacy and recurring hurts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, culture and comfort level. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone calls can be easier if internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping tools or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules.
