Ms Emily Gideon, MA

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“As a dedicated clinical psychologist, I am passionate about fostering mental wellness and emotional resilience. With years of experience in evidence-based therapies, I am committed to providing compassionate care and support to individuals on their journey towards psychological well-being and growth.”

About Me

Drawing on evidence-based therapies, I offer compassionate support, guiding individuals towards greater emotional resilience. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where we can explore challenges and foster lasting well-being. This approach suits those seeking a grounded, supportive path to personal growth, helping them navigate life's complexities.

Approach

My commitment to helping people build stronger coping skills guides how sessions unfold. Working from Nairobi and online in English and Kiswahili, I keep meetings focused and practical—short check-ins, hands-on strategies, and space to reflect. We use brief, structured assessment where helpful, pair problem-solving with emotional processing, and I often suggest small between-session steps to try new ways of relating and self-care. This steady, collaborative rhythm suits adolescents and adults seeking measurable change.
