About Kingsley
Kingsley Boateng is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. He supports those dealing with low self-esteem, relationship worries, identity questions and major life changes. He offers affirming care for LGBT and GSRD identities and listens with warmth and respect.
He uses a practical, collaborative style that aims to move conversations forward at a comfortable pace. Sessions focus on understanding what has been difficult, spotting unhelpful patterns and building everyday strategies that help people cope.
Background and approach
He combines talking therapy with evidence-informed tools from cognitive and acceptance-based approaches. Kingsley has seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He adapts his work to each person’s needs, choosing methods that fit their goals rather than following a single formula.
That means short-term strategies for immediate relief and longer-term work on values and self-trust when needed. People often come when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to begin again. In sessions he helps unpack those feelings, identify practical steps and practise new ways of relating to thoughts and emotions.
He aims to make the process understandable and manageable. He offers sessions in English and Akan and works with people across the UK and internationally. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles.

How Kingsley uses different therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on values and small, meaningful actions. It helps people who feel stuck to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current bonds and can be useful for people struggling with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are collaborative so the person’s preferences and pace guide which methods are used and how quickly work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who find words easier in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still working on trauma, stress and everyday coping skills.
