Ms Michelle Njeri

Counselling Psychologist

“I am an experienced counselling psychologist committed to helping clients improve their emotional well-being and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, abuse-related concerns, and other mental health difficulties. Using an integrative approach, I draw on evidence-informed therapeutic methods to respond to each client’s circumstances, needs and goals.”

About me

I understand that anxiety, trauma and mental health challenges can affect relationships, daily functioning and a person’s overall quality of life. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, respectful and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, better understand your thoughts and emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping. Because every client’s journey is different, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, strengths, and goals. Together, we work towards meaningful and sustainable progress at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, flexible and grounded in empathy. Sessions combine attentive listening and thoughtful reflection with practical strategies that you can apply in everyday life. We agree on clear therapeutic goals while allowing sufficient space to explore the experiences and patterns affecting your well-being. I work with adults and adolescents in English, both in-person and online. When supporting concerns such as anxiety, trauma, abuse and adolescent challenges, I use evidence-informed techniques, regular progress check-ins, and collaborative activities between sessions where appropriate. In group settings, I encourage shared learning, reflection and the practical application of coping skills. This approach is well-suited to clients seeking compassionate support alongside practical tools for lasting change.
