Miss Faith Gitau

Registered Clinical Psychologists

An experienced Clinical Psychologist, Providing Psychological Assessment, psychotherapy and Psychosocial Support to different groups of people and individuals.

About Me

An experienced Clinical Psychologist offers a grounding presence for individuals and groups navigating diverse life challenges. Sessions provide compassionate psychotherapy, complemented by comprehensive psychological assessments to clarify understanding. Clients gain practical psychosocial support, helping them build resilience and find clearer paths forward. This approach fosters a safe, collaborative space where everyone feels truly heard and supported.

Approach

Combining diagnostic clarity with steady, person-centred psychotherapy, I shift between assessment and therapeutic work to tailor each plan. In my Thika clinic, via Kiswahili or English and through online appointments, sessions move at a practical, paced rhythm: space to name experiences, introduce coping skills, and test changes in everyday life. Between sessions you'll receive focused tasks or reflections that link assessments to real steps, with careful attention when distress, trauma or identity questions arise. People seeking thoughtful, collaborative support often find this way of working helpful.
