Registered Clinical Psychologists

“MA Clinical Psychology with a background in Health Psychology. Experienced in providing Psychotherapy for a variety of mental health issues and treatment of mental health disorders.”

About Me

As a Registered Clinical Psychologist, I offer psychotherapy for a range of mental health issues. My background in Health Psychology helps us explore how physical well-being and life circumstances influence your emotional state. We can work together to find practical ways to address difficulties. This approach is especially helpful for those navigating health-related stress or exploring the mind-body link. I aim to create a supportive space for your journey towards stability and peace of mind.

Approach

I focus on how bodily signals and everyday demands shape emotional patterns and practical choices, then we gently test small changes that fit your life. Sessions in Nairobi or online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, are paced to your needs—sometimes reflective and slow, sometimes skill-building and action-oriented—and include brief between-session practices or simple psychoeducation to track progress. Mindfulness and focused reflection help link mood, behaviour and body sensations so insights turn into routines. This way suits people seeking steady, practical shifts rather than quick fixes.
