About Me

I specialise in guiding individuals through challenging times, whether navigating crisis or seeking recovery from addiction.

I focus on practical support tailored to your unique journey.

Approach

Sessions centre on practical steps toward recovery, blending assessment findings with immediate coping strategies and clear goals. In Nairobi I offer both in-person and online appointments in English and Kiswahili, with brief between-session check-ins when needed. I use structured psychological assessment, focused CBT techniques and collaborative safety planning to stabilise crises, then pace deeper exploration in individual or group settings tailored to your needs. Those navigating addiction, trauma, mood or relationship strain often find this steady, pragmatic style supportive.
