Mrs Olive Karani, MA

Licensed Psychologist

I am an experienced and dedicated Psychologist at Seasons of the Heart Wellness. My area of expertise is in Trauma, stress, anxiety, Depression, Interpersonal conflict, Loss and grief. I have worked and helped an extensive range of clients with psychotherapy:- individual, group, couple, marriage and family therapies.

About Me

I am a Licensed Psychologist based in Upperhill, Nairobi, Kenya. I provide psychological and diagnostic assessments, relationship counseling, and psychoanalysis in a confidential, practical setting.

Approach

People often arrive feeling overwhelmed by memories, relationship strain or nightly worry, so I set clear, steady session rhythms that make emotional shifts easier to notice. I blend focused assessment with space for reflection, short practical tasks between sessions help translate insight into daily habits. Sessions are collaborative: we track patterns, work through emotions at a comfortable pace and adjust tools to your goals.
