About Kenneth
Kenneth 'Ken' Mitchell uses a client-centred style to help people find their own solutions. He draws on ten years of experience in the United Kingdom. Ken believes people already have strengths to build on.
He focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and more manageable. He works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, and changes that come with major life events.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy issues are part of his practice, as are parenting concerns and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Ken combines client-centred work with solution-focused methods. That means conversations start with what matters most to the person and move quickly towards small, achievable goals.
Sessions tend to be informal and goal-oriented, with the pace set by the individual. Ken holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, described as BACP. Over a decade he has worked with a broad range of difficulties and life transitions across community settings.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches Kenneth lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also uses solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on small changes and practical steps. Rather than focusing on the past, this method looks for exceptions to the problem and builds clear, achievable goals. It is useful when someone wants quick, tangible shifts in daily routines or coping strategies.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through needs, goals and preferences and recommend which method or mix of methods to try. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for typed conversation and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter exchanges between sessions. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
