Mr Ephraem Ngota

Associate Counselor

“Ngota is an accredited counseling psychologist well versed in trauma, marriage and family therapy and upholds confidentiality and integrity. I will be conducting online counseling services to individuals and groups.”

About Me

I am an Associate Counselor and Counseling Psychologist in Busia, Western Kenya. I work with people facing abuse, addiction, career problems, trauma, and grief. I offer art therapy, relationship and trauma counseling, and secure online sessions.

Approach

Sessions from my Busia office or online are paced to meet your rhythm, blending steady structure with space for creative expression. I use simple art-based tasks, focused dialogue and safety planning to make trauma, grief and relationship strain more bearable, tracking small shifts each meeting. Between sessions I offer brief reflective prompts and practical steps we agree on so insights turn into everyday moves. Those seeking clear, collaborative work—adolescents, couples or adults rebuilding after harm—tend to find this way grounding.
