About Me

I am Nelly Nduta Ndirangu, a licensed community therapist and the founder of Kimo Wellness Counseling Centre. My aim is to create a welcoming space where individuals can find support. As a community therapist, I believe in accessible care that helps people navigate life's challenges. At Kimo Wellness, we foster understanding and personal growth, offering a grounded approach to wellbeing.

Approach

Support unfolds through practical steps and steady presence, centring your pace and priorities as we work together. In Thika, Kiambu and online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions are structured but flexible—short check-ins, focused exploration, and simple tools to use between meetings. I listen for safety and strengths, invite family or community supports when helpful, and track small changes so progress feels visible. This approach often fits adolescents, couples and community members seeking clear, steady support through difficult experiences.
