Mrs Margaret Mbugua

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

A licensed, experienced, competent, compassionate therapist working closely with individuals, groups, couples, adolescents, parents, families, schools, corporate and those struggling with addiction.

About Me

This experienced therapist offers compassionate support across many life stages and settings. They work closely with individuals, groups, and families to navigate diverse challenges, including addiction. Clients find a collaborative space to explore concerns and develop practical ways forward. This grounded approach provides tailored guidance. It helps clients find clarity, whether for personal struggles or corporate environments.

Approach

Therapy here feels collaborative and focused, balancing empathy with concrete action to address relationship strains, addiction patterns and life transitions. I meet clients in Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, and set a pace that suits adolescents, couples and families. I use assessment to map strengths, set achievable goals, and practise communication and coping skills between sessions so progress is measurable. Those managing grief, identity shifts or workplace burnout tend to find this steady, practical way of working helpful.
