Mrs Teresiah Nchogu

Psychologist

An experienced psychologist who specialises in Substance Abuse Disorder, Trauma, and crisis, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, grief, and loss, and so forth.

About Me

As an experienced psychologist, I help individuals navigate the complex challenges of Substance Abuse Disorder, trauma, and crisis. We can work together to address the profound impact of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, grief, and loss. My approach offers a supportive space to process difficult experiences and equip you with practical strategies for healing and building resilience. Clients find a path towards stability and renewed well-being, moving forward with confidence.

Approach

Steady, practical work guides how you move from crisis toward calmer routines: sessions are paced to match how you’re coping and use creative expression alongside brief, focused assessments to clarify what helps most. I see clients in Nairobi or online, and we work in English or Kiswahili so you can speak in the language that feels safest. Between meetings I offer small, doable practices and safety planning, and in session we adapt tools to your pace. This approach suits people seeking clear, collaborative steps through intense distress.
