These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kingsley Boateng. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
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.

Kingsley was great at helping me embrace new perspectives around some factors of my life. Thanks to the advice and tasks we've done in our sessions, my life outside of therapy has felt more comforting.

Kingsley is an exceptional listener, advisor and overall therapist. I had a specific negative thought loop that was causing a tremendous amount of internal turmoil in my life, but through his non-judgemental and reassuring attitude, it felt easy to open up and be vulnerable with him to work through and resolve the issue. Thank you so much again!

Kingsley is extremely good at creating a non-judgemental space where I feel safe enough to discuss uncomfortable subjects. No matter how hard our sessions can be due to subjects discussed or how emotional I become, by the end of the session he always leaves me in a capable head space. This is something I have not experienced with a therapist before. My many historical experiences with therapists have usually left me emotionally vulnerable, but Kingsley's gentle time management to prevent this is wonderful & greatly appreciated.
