Kai Manchester is an experienced therapist with over 4 years of clinical practice experience across a diverse range of client concerns. Kai has a decade of life experience as law enforcement and a first responder for the casino industry in the Nevada state, USA to draw on. From this work, Kai came to develop and specialise his work in anxiety disorders going on to do his Bachelors (with honors) degree in integrative counselling at Coventry university in Scarborough.

Parallel to his degree Kai also studied and qualified in equine therapy with Athena Herd in Kent taking both certificate & diploma qualifications. After graduating with honors from university, Kai went into private practice taking the words 'equine' and 'therapy' to make a new word 'Equerapy' and his private practice was born. Kai first started in York providing counselling and equine therapy to a wide range of clients. Kai has also ran equine therapy clinics at a manor farm horse riding school in Northampton for both adult and child client groups. 

Kai created a satellite practice in Scarborough providing private practice counselling services and contract counselling services for various charities in the area. After a year in Scarborough, Kai decided to close his satellite practice and make the move west, to Leeds. 

Kai now provides counselling in Leeds city center to adult and student client groups, working with individuals and couples across a wide range of issues.

Kai looks forward to seeing you in Leeds LS1. Take those first steps on your mental health journey, schedule a confidential consultation and learn more about how the Viking therapist can help you overcome challenges, regain quality of life and live to your fullest potential.
