Mr Charles Wambua

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

A passionate and experienced psychological counsellor working mainly with individuals, couples, families and groups in providing evidence based modern therapy

About Me

This experienced psychological counsellor works passionately with individuals, couples, families, and groups. They offer a space where challenges are met with understanding, drawing on modern, evidence-based approaches. Sessions are designed to help clients explore difficult feelings and find practical ways to move forward. This grounded, collaborative style suits anyone seeking clear, effective support for personal growth or navigating relationship dynamics.

Approach

I guide therapy through practical steps and careful listening, pacing sessions to match urgent needs or deeper reflection. Based in Nairobi I offer appointments in English and Kiswahili and maintain flexible remote sessions for school-age clients, parents and couples. Assessment and safety-focused planning inform brief interventions addressing anxiety, grief, anger and family patterns, with simple between-session tasks to build new skills. People seeking clear, collaborative support to manage stress, loss or relationship strain typically find this way of working helpful.
