Dr Uchenna Agwu

Counseling Psychologist

“Uchenna Agwu is a Psycho-Spiritual therapist who helps clients find their life meaning using the skills of meaning centered therapy.”

About Me

I help clients uncover their unique life meaning as a Psycho-Spiritual therapist. Using meaning-centred therapy skills, I guide individuals seeking purpose or clarity amidst life's challenges. This approach is particularly suited for those navigating transitions or experiencing a sense of disconnect. My sessions provide a supportive space to integrate spiritual insights with psychological understanding. Here, we work towards finding your clear direction and inner peace.

Approach

Meaning emerges through slow, deliberate exploration of values, memories and dreams, guided by questions that feel practical and soulful. In Nairobi or online, in English, Igbo or Kiswahili, sessions move between reflective dialogue and short experiential practices you can try between meetings. I weave spiritual reflection with attention to relationship patterns, body image and addictive urges, reading dreams as gentle clues to habits that no longer serve you. People in transition, recovery or feeling disconnected often find this steady, practical pace helps them notice shifts and claim clearer direction.
