Mr Paul Njiru

Counselor

I am an all-around compassionate and experienced counsellor, working with groups and individuals for the betterment of their mental well-being. I help my clients by using cognitive behavioural therapy and my approach is to listen and ask questions so as to understand the challenges shared.

About Me

I offer compassionate support to individuals and groups seeking to improve their mental well-being. My approach centres on truly listening and asking thoughtful questions to understand your unique challenges. We can then explore effective strategies using cognitive behavioural therapy. This collaborative style suits those ready to openly share and actively work towards a clearer path forward.

Approach

Sessions move from attentive listening into structured, practical work that breaks problems into manageable steps. In Nairobi I meet people in English, pacing sessions to suit individuals, adolescents and families navigating addiction, loss or life transitions. I guide small experiments, values-focused choices and brief assessments to track progress, pairing concrete between-session tasks and regular check-ins that build momentum. This way of working tends to suit people ready for honest effort and clear, measurable change.
