Miss Krishna Rawal

Psychologist

“An experienced and competent clinical therapist, currently pursuing and completing a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Has completed and received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2019. Works frequently with addicts and adolescents.”

About Me

This experienced clinical therapist understands the unique challenges faced by adolescents and individuals grappling with addiction. They offer a supportive space for young people to navigate complex emotions. Adults can also find clear pathways to recovery here. Currently completing a Master's in Clinical Psychology, this therapist blends practical support with a grounded approach. Clients appreciate a collaborative environment focused on building resilience and finding a way forward.

Approach

Working with young people and those rebuilding after substance harm shapes how I guide sessions: steady, focused, and practical so we address what matters most. In Nairobi or online, in English, Kiswahili or Gujarati, sessions move between short check-ins, goal-setting, and skill practice paced to your readiness, with gentle review of progress between meetings. I blend clear feedback with psychoeducation and collaborative problem-solving to make change manageable. This approach suits adolescents and adults seeking straightforward, supportive steps toward recovery and healthier relationships.
