Hi, I am Kingsley Ampomah Boateng, an integrative therapist, clinical supervisor and mediator based in South Shields and online. I offer warm, LGBTQIA+ and GSRD-affirming therapy for people navigating identity, relationships, trauma and grief. My practice is collaborative and non-judgmental, with a particular focus on culture, race, migration, and the diverse ways people love and live. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of what hurts, and support you in building steadier ground, creating more choices, and cultivating a kinder relationship with yourself.

My practice is informed by intersectional and inclusive feminism and anti-oppressive practices. I offer both individual and relationship therapy. I encourage enquiries from all LGBTQ+ folks, transgender and gender non-conforming people, people in non-monogamous or unconventional relationships, sex workers, and other marginalised groups.

I am a highly trained psychodynamic psychotherapist and recovery specialist with many years experience working in both clinical and corporate/organisational settings.  My approach is unique in that I combine deep experience of these two worlds – the commercial and the clinical/therapeutic – so I understand and can help you manage the sometimes intense pressures of these challenging environments. My extensive training and lengthy and intensive personal therapy enables me to help you think about how your personal perspective or inner world interacts with your context and those around you.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist working online. You may be struggling with a specific issue or pattern of behaviour and know already what you would like to talk about.

I  have worked closely with male issues and have experience working with gender diversity and LGBT+ issues.
