Biography
Kingsley Ampomah Boateng is a doctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at Durham University. His research focuses on psychological therapy with gender, sexuality and relationship diverse (GSRD) communities, drawing on Minority Stress Theory and intersectional perspectives to understand distress, well-being and help-seeking.
He has a professional background in psychotherapy, civil and commercial mediation and applied mental health practice. Across these roles, he has been committed to integrating lived experience, critically engaging with social norms and addressing health inequalities affecting LGBTQ+ and other marginalised populations.
His current work employs mixed methods designs to examine how stigma, therapeutic processes and broader social structures shape treatment experiences and psychological outcomes for GSRD communities. He aims to produce research that is ethically grounded, culturally responsive, and of practical relevance for clinicians, services, and policymakers.
