Ms Peris Mwaniki

Licensed Psychologist

“I'm here to offer a compassionate and non-judgmental ear. Together, we can explore the challenges you're facing and develop strategies to improve your mental health. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety or simply seeking a safe space to talk, I'm committed to helping you find the support and guidance.”

About me

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space for individuals navigating stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Grounded in a holistic and collaborative approach, I help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build practical strategies for lasting well-being. Guided by a personal appreciation for nature, creative expression, and mindful balance, I aim to foster a therapy environment where every client feels safe, seen, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Approach

Therapy with me is a collaborative partnership designed to fit who you are as a whole person. You’ll find sessions that move at your pace, balancing gentle reflection with practical steps to reduce overwhelm and build clarity. Grounded in a holistic perspective, my work honors the connection between mind, identity, and environment—drawing inspiration from the grounding rhythms of nature, creative expression, and mindful balance to support deep, sustainable healing. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples in Nairobi and online, offering conversations in English or Kiswahili so we keep things accessible and familiar. Sessions often mix focused check-ins, short assessments for children or attention concerns, and simple practices you can try between meetings to manage stress, trauma memories, or relationship strain. This steady, human-centered way of working suits anyone seeking thoughtful, solution-focused change.
