About Me

I am a psychological counsellor with over 14 years’ experience in mental health. I focus on supporting wellbeing and resilience, particularly for those in the tech sector. My background in psychotherapy, training, and organisational psychology helps me understand the tech industry's unique demands. We can develop practical strategies to navigate workplace pressures and cultivate lasting mental strength. I offer a grounded, collaborative space where your professional and personal wellbeing can flourish.

Approach

Working with professionals in tech, my sessions focus on translating workplace challenges into manageable steps that fit your rhythm. I see clients in Nairobi and online in English, scheduling short, focused meetings that respect busy routines while allowing space for reflection. We use targeted assessments and psychometric insights to design practical experiments you can try between sessions, then review and adapt so progress feels tangible. This way of working tends to help those facing career shifts, behavioural patterns, or the strain of rapid change.
