Ms Abigael Muthoka, BA

Licensed Psychologist

A licensed psychologist deeply driven by a profound passion for raising awareness about mental health. My work centers on promoting well-being, offering support, and sharing evidence-based strategies to empower individuals and communities to prioritize their mental health.

About Me

As a licensed psychologist, I am passionate about raising mental health awareness. My work promotes well-being and offers genuine support. We will explore evidence-based strategies together, empowering you to prioritise your mental health. This approach is ideal for individuals and communities seeking to make mental health a clear focus. I am dedicated to helping you achieve this important goal.

Approach

My work unfolds through a clear, collaborative rhythm that turns awareness into everyday choices. In Nairobi I offer English sessions both in person and online, meeting you at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your life. Sessions mix focused problem-solving, gentle tracking of thoughts and behaviours, short grounding practices and practical between-session tasks so you can notice small changes and build confidence. Those facing anxiety, life transitions, relationship strain or recovery often find this steady, skills-focused way of working helpful.
