Hello, my name is Kai,
I'm an experienced, registered Integrative Counsellor, Equine Therapist & Clinical Supervisor.
I work integratively as I believe there is no one size fits all in mental health and your therapy should grow and adapt with you as you grow and develop over the course of your therapy.
Therapy can work how you like it to, you are in control of it. We will explore what you want to and I will never make you feel uncomfortable or judged in any way. Therapy is a safe space where you can be heard and find answers to the questions you have. Therapy doesn't have a goal, your goals are the focus of therapy. Its my job to empower you and to bring awareness to the picture so that you can make choices from an informed position and live your life to your fullest potential.
I work with a range of client concerns and specialise in anxiety and anxiety disorders.
My background.......is in law enforcement and first responder for the casino industry in the USA for over a decade, before that I was a chef in the catering industry. Due to this, I also have extensive experience with life changes and expat issues. I later retrained as a therapist back in the UK, to help and support clients with anxiety disorders, trauma and ptsd. Along the way I also found the benefits of equine therapy and added that training to my professional skills along side my bachelors degree in integrative counselling.
Reach out, I look forward to meeting you.
Kai

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Great at providing an unbiased and constructive guidance with self development as the primary focus.
Kai has been very helpful in my navigation of a recent breakup and subsequent journey on a variety of topics. He had a kind and patient charachter and is able to find the right moment for some humor.
Kai has helped me unravel a lot of the issues I have struggled with for the past quarter. Honestly, I feel like I won't be in this level of mind space without him. Highly recommend him if you are looking to fixing and taking a foot forward in fixing your own little head ecosystem.
I can't say enough good things about Kai Manchester. I look forward to our sessions each week and feel supported, respected and genuinely heard. He is compassionate and sensitive without ever coming across as patronizing. He is a good observer, and has a calm and yet engaging manner. His suggestions are on point and I have made real progress through our sessions. He has a direct , but gentle way of drawing me out and helping me explore how I truly feel , and what I really think about the issues I discuss with him. Thank you, Kai, for all of our work!
Kai is a great professional. Always listens without a judgement and pushes me to think out of my comfort zone. He helped with lots of personal struggles.
Fantastic Therapist. Been helping me treat anxiety around work and social situations for last few months. Highly Recommend :)
Helped as much as they could. Was nice to be able to connect and talk to while I was able. Sadly due to issues of what I need to talk about is out of their scope I need to move on to find someone who works in there area.
Kai possesses the keen ability to listen, understand and most importantly to challenge me, my thoughts and my feelings in a productive manner.
I’ve spoken to Kai a few times, and every time we discuss my issues he gives a response that helps me focus on the things I need to do to improve and help myself!
Could not recommend Kai enough! Has a very understanding and practical approach to his sessions. Very patient and takes time to explain things and recommends activities and exercises to apply outside of sessions to help deal with anxiety or depression.
He understands my terrible communication, gives useful information, very down to earth and easy to talk to. Best therapist iv spoken to
I cant praise Kai enough, he has helped me to find a happiness I didn't think was possible outside of drugs. Things that have been with me since my childhood have been lifted and I'm free. I know I pay for the service and it's his job but it's amazing how much it's changed me in just a few sessions.
Kai is kind and patient and offers a calm and measured view on issues of anxiety and depression.
