Mrs Rukaiya Goralwalla

Psychotherapist

I am passionate and commited psychotherapist who seeks to support clients during their challenges and experiences by creating a safe space to explore and reconnect with themselves. My strengths in mindfulness help to equip clients with skills and resources to help them slow down, refocus on the present.

About Me

I am a passionate psychotherapist, dedicated to supporting you through life’s challenges. I create a safe, welcoming space for you to explore your experiences and reconnect with yourself. My approach uses mindfulness to equip you with practical skills. We can work together to help you slow down and refocus on the present moment. This offers a grounded way forward for those seeking clarity and peace amidst their struggles.

Approach

You’ll find sessions rooted in steady presence and practical skills that help you notice patterns and make small, meaningful shifts. Whether meeting in Nairobi or online, in English, the pace is collaborative and paced to your needs — we practise brief mindful exercises, clarify values, and try out tiny experiments between sessions to test what feels useful. I keep things grounded and action-oriented while staying attentive to relationship and family dynamics. This way of working often suits adults, couples and families seeking clearer connection and calmer choices.
