Mrs Esther Waweru

Counseling Psychologist

“An experienced, passionate and competent proffesional psychologist counselor.Helping people tap to the best version of themselves, by healing the past, living the present and dreaming the future.”

About Me

This experienced Counseling psychologist is deeply passionate about helping individuals truly tap into their potential. They offer a supportive space to explore personal growth, guiding you through a journey of healing from past experiences. Together, you will develop strategies for living fully in the present, while also envisioning and building a brighter future. This approach is ideal for anyone ready to unlock their best self and embrace meaningful change.

Approach

I guide clients to transform past hurts into clearer daily choices, balancing practical steps with hopeful possibility. Sessions in Nairobi, in English, are relaxed and paced to your needs—sometimes we track a single relationship pattern, other times we focus on reducing burnout or reshaping body image between meetings. You’ll leave with short, focused reflections and real-world experiments to try between sessions that build confidence and shift responses. This way of working fits adults navigating transitions, relationship repair or reclaiming a stronger sense of self.
