Kingsley Boateng, BACP, NCPS

Kingsley Boateng is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who specialises in support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. He works with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful, with an emphasis on thinking through next steps together.

His approach is collaborative and warm. He uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and person-centred listening. That means sessions often involve noticing patterns of thought, trying small changes in how you respond, and building everyday routines that help recovery.

Boateng offers affirming support for LGBT and GSRD identities and considers culture and personal history in every conversation. He also lists ageing and geriatric issues among areas of focus, and works with people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, or major life transitions in later life.

Over seven years he has helped people with stress, relationship concerns, trauma, self-esteem and a range of emotional and behavioural challenges. He mixes practical coping skills with space to make sense of difficult feelings and past experiences. Sessions are paced to suit each person and their goals.

People beginning therapy are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. Boateng uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and he accepts international clients. Languages offered are English and Akan.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used when someone is coping with anxiety, depression or major life changes and wants practical ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses clear exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new routines. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and is helpful for people who want to understand repeating relationship difficulties or attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, pace and preferences. That might mean mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting things as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring duties, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It can also allow clients to use scripted exercises or worksheets between meetings to build new habits in daily life.
