About Kenneth

Kenneth 'Ken' Mitchell uses a client-centred way of working to put the person's experience at the core of therapy. He draws on ten years of experience and the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, to offer focused, respectful support. Ken keeps sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.

He believes people are the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions often begin by identifying what the client wants to change and what is already helping them cope. From there Ken and the client set small, achievable steps to move forward. Ken uses elements of solution-focused work to create short-term goals and practical strategies.

That approach suits people who want clear, concrete ways to tackle problems such as sleep difficulties, motivation issues, or relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports those dealing with bereavement, addiction and mood difficulties like depression and bipolar disorder. Ken pays attention to everyday pressures that affect parenting, family roles and communication.

He will listen for patterns that keep problems repeating and help clients try different responses in daily life. Practical tasks between sessions are commonly suggested to test new approaches. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Ken works with adults on a range of life changes and emotional difficulties, and aims to make appointments that fit around busy lives.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of every session. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the person identify their own priorities and strengths. This approach is helpful for people coping with stress, grief, low self-esteem and long-running emotional struggles.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It looks for what is already working and builds brief strategies to move forward, which can help with sleep problems, motivation, relationship issues and everyday coping. Both approaches aim to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which style or mix of approaches best matches their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and fit around busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client speak face to face, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing or who want more frequent, shorter contacts. These options make it easier to book appointments across different schedules and locations.
