Ms Josephine Wathika

Counselor

“An experienced and passionate Counseling Therapist working with diverse groups of clients and with a wealth of experience working among marginalized communities and the current young workforce.”

About Me

This experienced Counseling therapist brings a deep passion to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. They have extensive experience working with marginalised communities. They also understand the unique pressures faced by the current young workforce. This therapist creates a welcoming space where clients can explore their concerns openly. Their compassionate, grounded approach offers a strong match for those seeking guidance through life's challenges.

Approach

Having worked across varied communities and alongside younger professionals, I structure sessions to feel steady and focused, balancing attentive listening with practical, achievable steps. In Mombasa or online, in English or Kiswahili, meetings begin with a brief check-in, move into collaborative goal-setting and gentle exploration of abuse, family patterns or burnout, and close with clear action points you can try between sessions. I send short reflections and adjustments between appointments so progress stays manageable and responsive. This approach suits people seeking culturally aware, paced support that fits daily life.
