Ms Catherine Wanjohi

Associate Counselor

“I am a trained counselling psychologist, very passionate in helping children, youth, adults, couples, and families navigate life challenges with resilience and positive outlook towards life. Experienced in relationship counselling trauma therapy, loss and grief support, anxiety and depression counselling.”

About Me

I hold a Counseling Psychologist license and work as an Associate Counselor in Nairobi, Kenya. I provide child psychology, diagnostic assessments, crisis counseling, and personal development services. I work directly with people affected by abuse, addiction, or adolescent challenges to build clear recovery skills.

Approach

Helping young people, parents and caregivers build resilience, I run steady, paced sessions that blend gentle assessment with hands-on skill practice. Across Nairobi, Nyeri and online in English, meetings shift between brief goal-focused check-ins and deeper processing, inviting caregivers when safety or development needs it. I set clear, measurable steps, safety plans and short between-session activities so change feels tangible and manageable. Those coping with trauma, loss, addiction or crisis often find this structured, compassionate approach supportive.
