Miss Curi Githinji

Licensed Psychologist

“I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to empowering individuals through trauma-informed, child-centered therapy. I use evidence-based and creative approaches such as art therapy to foster resilience, healing, and mental well-being.”

About Me

I offer a safe space for children to explore big feelings and build inner strength. As a licensed psychologist, I specialise in child-centred, trauma-informed therapy. Young minds process experiences uniquely, so we use creative approaches like art therapy. This helps your child express what words cannot, fostering resilience and well-being. My gentle, evidence-based approach helps children navigate challenges. It's a good match for families seeking compassionate support.

Approach

Sessions move at your child’s pace, guided by curiosity and playful tasks that help feelings surface more safely than words alone. In Nairobi or online, I mix structured assessments with open-ended activities, brief caregiver check-ins, and simple between-session art prompts to track progress and build practical skills. Together we set small goals—behaviour steps, emotion tools, or relationship adjustments—and review what’s working each week in clear, warm language. This approach suits families wanting steady, collaborative support for growing coping and confidence.
