Ms Nyambura Kinyori, MA

Clinical Psychologist

Verified

“Therapy is a collaborative process between you and me. It involves discussing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to help you understand yourself better, cope with challenges, and make positive changes in your life.”

About Me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (M.A.) specialising in working with teenagers, emerging adults (ages 19 to 29), and adults. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which the client and I work together to untangle whatever feels stuck or complicated in a safe and confidential environment. My primary therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, and motivational interviewing (MI).

Approach

I adopt a person-centred or client-centred approach, firmly believing that you, the client, know what is best for you. Why? Because you are the one living in your body and truly understand where it hurts or what is needed. Just as water knows how to flow, you have your own internal compass guiding you on how to move forward. At times, I may conduct psychological assessments that involve using various tools and methods, such as interviews and questionnaires. These assessments help us explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, personality, and abilities. The information we gather will allow us to create a comprehensive understanding to guide our work together.
