Mr Daniel Kariuki

Counseling Psychologist

A Goal Oriented, Passionate, Resourceful Counseling Psychologist eager to apply my varied experience in handling crisis and offer intervention procedures. I am driven by the need to help people overcome challenges and live healthy lives. I am Intrinsically driven and geared towards helping people through mentorship.

About Me

As a passionate and resourceful Counseling psychologist, I am here to guide you through life's challenges. My varied experience in handling crisis means we can explore practical ways forward together. I offer supportive mentorship to help you overcome obstacles and live healthier lives. If you are facing difficulties and seeking a goal-oriented approach, I am intrinsically driven to help you find clarity and well-being.

Approach

When crises emerge I set clear, practical steps we can try together, focusing on immediate safety, short-term plans and measurable progress. Sessions in Nairobi or online, conducted in English, are structured around assessment, targeted interventions and collaborative problem-solving, with brief between-session tasks to monitor change. Therapy is hands-on and mentorship-oriented: we set achievable goals, review what helps, adapt quickly and build coping skills for stress, addiction and life transitions. This way of working often suits adolescents, adults and families seeking focused, compassionate support.
