Ms Njigina Macharia
Counseling Psychologist
“I am a seasoned Trauma-Focused psychotherapist with More than a decade of experience in providing psychotherapy, using strength based trauma sensitive strategies to enhance healing and resiliency.”
About Me
As a seasoned Trauma-Focused psychotherapist, I guide individuals navigating the complexities of past difficult events. With over a decade of experience, my strength-based approach gently explores your inner resources. I use trauma-sensitive strategies to foster healing and build lasting resilience. Our sessions offer a safe space to process experiences at your own pace. I help you discover your inherent capacity for recovery, moving from surviving to truly thriving.
Approach
Sessions unfold at the rhythm you set, attending first to safety while gently mobilizing your inner strengths. From my Nairobi base I offer English-language sessions in person and online, keeping structure flexible so we can slow down or shift as needed. I use mindful tracking of sensations, focused reflection, and practical between-session tasks to increase tolerance, clarify meaning, and build coherent narratives around painful memories. People coping with abuse, complex trauma or suicidal thoughts often find this steady, collaborative pacing helpful.
