Mr Harun Gachiri
Psychologist
“I am an experienced, passionate and goal oriented psychological counselor who has a particular interest in working with the much stigmatized and discriminated population of people who suffer from mental illnesses and also addicts in specific. Community and individual empowerment are my biggest goals.”
About Me
I am a psychologist and an Associate Counsellor based in Nairobi, Central Kenya. I help people affected by abuse, addiction, anxiety, conduct problems, and grief. I offer psychological and diagnostic assessment, group therapy, occupational therapy, and psychoeducation.
Approach
Many people I meet carry heavy stigma, so I use a straightforward, goal-focused approach that preserves dignity while building strength. Sessions in Nairobi are held face-to-face in English or Kiswahili, in a calm, structured space that moves at a steady, collaborative pace. We set clear, achievable goals, gather practical information to guide choices, practice coping and daily skills between meetings, and invite trusted family or community supports when helpful. This way of working often fits those seeking respectful, practical support to regain stability and purpose.
Services
I offer a wide variety of services ranging from psychological assessments for psychological issues and illnesses to individual and group counseling sessions for clients. I particularly have sharpened my skills when it comes to matters of working with addicts. I also offer home intervention services for clients and their families. I have skills in carrying out couple counseling sessions on various matters of difficulty.
