Early post-graduate work included training in the basic principles of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy with Dr. Albert Ellis. He combines ideas from several methods and selects techniques based on what fits the person and the problem.

With adults he has focused on adult ADHD, career coaching, depression, anxiety, parenting skills, and couples counseling. He also helps people with grief, trauma, compulsive behaviors, and mood disorders.
Kenneth has a special interest in the mental side of sport and works with tennis and golf competitors on performance concerns. Sessions generally occur Monday through Friday in afternoon and evening hours. He uses mindfulness exercises alongside cognitive and acceptance-based strategies when those approaches suit the client's goals.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness are used in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then move toward things they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviors tied to anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy uses brief awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve attention and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work, family, or training schedules. Remote work can make shorter check-ins easier, reduce travel time, and allow practice of skills in everyday settings. Licensed professionals typically adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to the online setting so the same practical techniques can be used during video or telephone meetings when those formats are offered.
