Nellie Macharia
CBT Psychotherapist
“A compassionate psychologist working with adolescents and children.”
About Me
I offer a compassionate space for adolescents and children. Here, young people can explore big feelings and navigate challenges. Using CBT principles, we work together to understand thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies. My aim is to help them build resilience, find their voice, and feel more confident. This approach particularly suits those struggling with anxiety, low mood, or difficult life changes.
Approach
Compassion guides how sessions unfold for adolescents and children: steady, practical, and attuned to each young person’s pace. I meet families in Nairobi or online, offering work in English or Kiswahili so sessions feel familiar and accessible. Sessions blend short, hands-on exercises, calm reflection and simple between-session practices that help reduce anxiety, lift low mood and build everyday coping skills. Young people and parents looking for supportive, practical progress often find this way of working helpful.
