“Licensed Consultant Psychologist and Mental Health Advocate with over 15 years of diverse professional experience, including more than 6 years in psychology and mental health. Currently based in Nairobi, Kenya, I hold a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from United States International University-Africa. I specialise in psychotherapy and evidence-based treatment approaches to support clients’ well-being. I also have experience working remotely and providing virtual therapy sessions. I am passionate about raising mental health awareness and promoting the overall well-being of individuals. ”

About me

Adept at fostering a supportive and empowering environment for clients to ensure holistic care during individual and group therapy sessions. In the maze of life’s unexpected challenges, our struggles can be likened to a bag of jigsaw puzzle pieces. In therapy, we empty these pieces onto the table and begin turning them right side up in a safe space. Together, we navigate this intricate puzzle, allowing you to choose which piece to tackle first. My delight is to support my clients on this journey of self-discovery, offering guidance and support as they unravel the mysteries of life’s puzzle. In our sessions, you can expect genuine empathy, warmth, deep insight, honesty, and non-judgmental support as we navigate the depths of your inner world. I firmly believe that every individual possesses the innate capacity for healing and self-awareness. Together, we will focus on your individual needs, aiming to uncover root causes, untangle limiting beliefs, and foster self-understanding and self-compassion using a range of psychological concepts and therapeutic approaches.

Approach

I use an eclectic approach, drawing from different counselling theories and techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. This flexible approach allows me to use methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and other behavioural techniques.
