Mrs Patricia Wanjau

Psychological Counselor

An experienced psychotherapist who is empathetic and compassionate with a strong desire to help people and make a difference. I have experience with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and conditions.

About Me

As an experienced psychotherapist, I offer empathetic, compassionate support. My strong desire is to help you navigate life's challenges and make a difference. I welcome clients of all ages, backgrounds, and conditions. In our sessions, I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard. Together, we can explore your feelings and find a path forward that feels right for you.

Approach

Sessions balance attentive listening with practical, goal-focused work that respects your pace and priorities. I meet people in Nairobi and online, in English and Kiswahili, often blending one-on-one reflection with occasional group sessions or organisational consultation to mirror real-life demands. Together we set small, clear steps, use reflective exercises between meetings, and draw on advocacy or clinical supervision when needed to relieve burnout and support transitions. Those facing career, relationship, or life changes tend to find this steady, collaborative rhythm helpful.
