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 that your therapy should grow and adapt with you as you grow and develop over the course of your therapy.
Therapy is a safe space where you can be heard and explore what you would like to. 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 specialise in general anxiety disorder and cover general practice, reach out to see if what you want to work on is what I cover as not all therapists work in all areas and its important you are where you need to be for your needs.
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 sous 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. Currently studying post grad Masters.
Reach out to explore your needs, I look forward to meeting you.
Kai

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.
