Mrs Munira Zahid

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“Psychotherapist/Trainer widely travelled with 25 years cross cultural experience, providing assessment, training and psycho-social support and treatment for psychological, emotional, interpersonal, and work-related issues in adults/children at individual, organi staff, family, group and community levels.”

About Me

I support adults and children navigating psychological, emotional, and work-related challenges, drawing on 25 years of cross-cultural experience. My widely travelled background allows me to understand diverse perspectives deeply. I offer comprehensive assessment and practical training, helping individuals, families, and organisations find tailored ways forward. Clients benefit from my broad expertise, especially those facing complex interpersonal or community-level issues, finding adaptable support.

Approach

My practice moves from broad assessment into focused, culturally attuned interventions that unfold at a calm, practical pace. In Nairobi or online, sessions are collaborative—short-term goals set together, between-session tasks paced to school, work and family rhythms, and progress reviewed regularly. I blend trauma-aware stabilisation, skills rehearsal and narrative work to help people manage anxiety, stress, PTSD and relationship strain as patterns change. Those balancing work, family or community roles often find this steady, adaptable way of working helpful.
