Mrs Faith Cherono

Psychologist

“Licensed Counseling Psychologist with experience working with children, adolescents and young adults.”

About Me

As a Licensed Counseling Psychologist, I support children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate life's unique challenges. I offer a calm, collaborative space where we can explore feelings and make sense of experiences. Whether facing school pressures, friendships, or family changes, clients discover practical ways to build resilience. My aim is to help you find your voice and confidently move forward.

Approach

With experience supporting children, adolescents and young adults, I guide sessions at a calm, steady pace that follows your needs and curiosity. In Nairobi and online, in English or Kiswahili, we use clear check-ins, occasional creative tasks, and gentle assessments to map feelings, strengths and patterns between sessions. Therapy leans on small experiments—practised skills, reflective art, or brief home-based tasks—to build safety and agency after difficult events or during transitions. This approach fits young people and families seeking practical, compassionate steps forward.
