Kingsley Boateng, BACP, NCPS

Kingsley Boateng offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. He works with individuals who want practical help to feel steadier, understand patterns that cause struggle, and build confidence. Sessions are warm and collaborative, with time taken to listen and set goals together.

He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking steps that matter, even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape a respectful, relationship-focused style.

Boateng has seven years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He provides an affirming space for people exploring sexual or gender identity. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, and work or career strain.

Sessions can help with everyday pressures, managing mood episodes, coping after loss, and rebuilding self-esteem. He pays attention to cultural background and individual story, including issues such as adoption, attachment, neurodiversity and long-term health challenges. Themes like intimacy, boundaries and commitment are also part of his practice.

Therapy is a paced process. Kingsley works collaboratively to decide what feels useful and practical. He aims to help people develop skills they can use after sessions end, and to increase self-trust over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Kingsley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps aligned with their values, even when strong feelings are present. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and trying practical experiments to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences during early sessions and together decide which methods suit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
