Mz Catherine Wangechi Mwangi
Counselor
“An experienced counselor for 15 years, trainer of caregivers and educationists working with children and their parents. I handle children victims of childhood trauma, transitions , self esteem and school based issues including performance, bullying and body shaming.”
About Me
I help children navigate challenging experiences like trauma, big life changes, or school worries such as bullying and body shaming. With 15 years of experience, I support children to build confidence and feel more secure. I also train caregivers and educationists, ensuring a consistent support system for children and their families. This collaborative approach helps young people find their voice and thrive.
Approach
When a child arrives after a painful change, I set a gentle, structured pace that balances safety with gradual exploration. In Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, sessions move between quiet talking, creative play and brief check-ins with caregivers so progress carries into school and home. I use careful, age‑appropriate assessment and paced trauma work to help name feelings, reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence. Families seeking steady, practical support through transitions and healing often find this approach helpful.
