I’m Kingsley, a UK-based integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor. I also work as a civil and commercial mediator in a separate professional role. I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in Psychology, and have been in practice since 2019.
I support adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, questions about identity, low self-esteem and life changes. My approach is warm, collaborative and practical. I listen carefully, ask questions that help us understand what is happening, and draw on person-centred, CBT-informed, solution-focused and mindfulness-based approaches where they are useful to you.
You can expect a space where you do not have to edit parts of yourself to be understood. I work in an LGBTQIA+ and GSRD-affirming way and pay attention to culture, faith, neurodivergence and the wider circumstances shaping your life. Together, we can make sense of what feels stuck and find steps that fit you.

Kingsley has been amazing on my journey so far, I feel listened too and he knows how to guide me in understanding my emotions. It's very refreshing to have a therapist that's so invested and really in this with you.

I’m only 2 sessions in with Kingsley but I can feel the changes in my thinking happening. He’s challenged me and noticed things nobody ever had before. He clearly cares and pays full attention I can’t have gotten a better therapist

Active listener, thoughtful and accommodating. Warmth combined with thought provoking comments show Kingsley's subtle and strong style. I feel more guided than talked down to. Less diagnosis and more understanding.

been having sessions with Kingsley for 1 year now. Understanding more and more how good of a therapist he is.
Great listener, challenging & open to be challenged, give great tools. Makes me find the solutions myself without giving me the feeling I have to figure it out myself.
All in all, just amazing. 5 stars.

Kingsley is an emotionally intelligent, knowledgeable and professional therapist. He listens to all my thoughts and warm-halfheartedly responds to them. I like how he summarizes them, mirrors them back to me and reflects on them with his overviewing perspective connecting all my topics and feelings.
Written on Jan 10, 2025 after therapy with Kingsley for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, and self esteem
Working with Kingsley has been fantastic. From the first session, I had the feeling of the space being held for me and of it being a safe space. I haven't had that to such a profound degree with any previous therapists I've had in that past.
Kingsley has given such great insights and different perspectives on things that have made a big difference. There's still a long way to go but even after just a few months there's plenty of actionable things I've learnt and been able to apply.
It has been especially helpful to have a therapist with knowledge and experience around LGBTQ+ identities and experiences, including some of the less common and less well known identities.
I would recommend Kingsley to anyone considering therapy .

Kingsley has been an integral part of my healing journey. I originally was getting therapy to just learn myself but we were able to adapt and switch focus after I went through a life altering event. He’s methodically led me to answers and different viewpoints at every stage of my journey. I am extremely grateful.

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
Written on Jul 09, 2024 after therapy with Kingsley for 2 weeks
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 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.
Written on Feb 22, 2024 after therapy with Kingsley for 1 month on issues concerning lgbt, relationship issues, and self esteem
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.

I have had two meetings with Kingsley so far and cannot wait for the third meeting. I've tried going to therapy several times and Kingsley is one of the only two I could open up to. He is empathetic and actively listens, and when he speaks he brings my attention to phrases, habits, and mindsets that I usually think of as innocuous but could turn out to be holding me back. Highly recommend.
