Mrs Florence Machoka

Counseling Psychologist

“A seasoned, empathetic counselling psychotherapist working largely with the youth and young adults”

About Me

As an empathetic Counseling psychotherapist, I offer a dedicated space for youth and young adults navigating life's complexities. Drawing on my seasoned experience, I help you explore feelings, build coping strategies, and find your voice. We can work together to understand challenges like anxiety or identity shifts, fostering resilience and personal growth. If you seek a calm, supportive presence to guide your path forward, I am here to listen.

Approach

When feelings feel tangled, I focus on gentle clarity—slow pacing, practical steps and a non-judging stance that invites your voice. Sessions in English, from my Nairobi space or through secure online meetings, blend steady check-ins with focused skill practice. I pair reflective conversation with brief between-session experiments so you can test coping strategies, manage urges, and notice small shifts in behaviour. This approach tends to suit adolescents and young adults seeking steady, practical support to regain control and build confidence.
