Ms Mercy Wanjiru

Professional Counsellor

“Affordable and convenient institution that offers evidence-based approaches in treating our clients.”

About me

Finding support that truly helps, without financial strain, is important. As an ICAP I Psychological Counsellor, I work with individuals seeking effective, evidence-based approaches for their well-being. Our affordable and convenient institution focuses on practical strategies, ensuring you gain tools for real progress. We welcome clients ready to explore challenges and build lasting resilience, offering a structured, supportive pathway forward.

Approach

My work centres on accessible, practical care that breaks challenges into clear, manageable steps you can use between sessions. Whether we meet in Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, sessions move at your pace with structured check-ins, simple assessments and collaborative goal-setting. For adolescents, parents or adults facing substance use, stress or parenting strain, I blend short-term skill building with ongoing wellness planning, gentle accountability and measurable homework to track change. People seeking steady, no-frills support often find this helpful.
