Staying positive
The most important words that you will ever hear as a person are the words you say to your self!
Miss Paula Maiyan
Psychologist
“I provide individualized, evidence-based care for clients and professionals to empower them to thrive. As an Industrial psychologist, I enhance workplace effectiveness, productivity, and well-being using psychological principles to optimize job satisfaction and performance of employees.”
About Me
I work with professionals and clients who want to enhance their workplace effectiveness and well-being. As an Industrial Psychologist, I apply evidence-based psychological principles. We can explore tailored strategies to boost your productivity and cultivate greater job satisfaction. My aim is to provide practical, individualised support, helping you find clear steps to optimise your daily performance.
Approach
To turn goals into day-to-day habits, I structure sessions around clear, manageable steps and measurable checkpoints that make change feel doable. Sessions in Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, are paced to fit busy work weeks and often blend short skill practices with focused reflection. Between meetings we test small workplace or family experiments, review what helped, and adjust the plan so progress builds steadily. This way of working tends to suit professionals, families and young people who want practical, sustained improvement.
