Mrs Cynthia Munyao

Licensed Psychologist

I'm a licensed psychologist, proficient at CBT, talk therapy, psychometric testing, tailored worksheets and art when helping clients explore their feelings, thoughts and behavior patterns while guiding them to learn healthy coping skills. I strive to make clients feel safe and supported during their healing journey.

About Me

I offer a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour patterns. Using approaches like CBT and tailored worksheets, I guide you to understand yourself more deeply. My goal is to help you develop healthy coping skills. This collaborative process is ideal if you seek clarity and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. You’ll feel more confident daily.

Approach

Exploring your inner experience and patterns happens through paced, practical work that blends talking, brief assessments and creative tasks to uncover what's keeping you stuck. Whether we meet in Nairobi or online in English, sessions mix focused CBT-style exercises, art-based reflection and personalised worksheets to practise between meetings. I offer gentle structure, clear short-term goals and collaborative feedback so progress feels measurable and relevant. This approach tends to help adolescents, young adults and parents seeking steady, practical steps toward change.
