I’ve only recently plucked up the courage to start therapy but Kingsley has made the transition very easy. He’s kind and respectful of what I have to say and I couldn’t be more grateful for his help

Kingsley is kind and easy to talk to, and a great listener who is quite empathetic. Beyond that, I have been absolutely floored with his written responses to my journals and workbook activities. He deftly synthesized and summarized what I was trying to express and reflected it back to me showing me he really SEES me, like ALL of me. He's helped me remember that I have a lot more light and strengths than challenges and given me hope that we can leverage that positivity to address my challenges effectively. And this is only after two sessions! I've been to many, many (mostly disappointing) therapists over decades of trying to resolve trauma, and this is the best early impression any of them have made on me, making me feel safe and supported almost instantly. Highly recommended.

Kingsley is a warm, intelligent, fair and wel educated therapist that knows how to create a safe space as his listening ear is a big contributor to that.
One of his greatest assets is his ability to make good judgement in order to assess without making you feel judged.
Kingsley carries a high vibration that is not to be taken for granted.
Highly recommended

Kingsley is very knowledgeable and responsive. He listens to me in an empathetic way and catches me on my mistakes and holds me accountable for my work. He is wonderful.
