Mr DanielMaria Shikuku

Psychologist

“I am a competent and passionate psychodynamic counselor with grounded orientation on person centered approach. I addition I have worked in settings that endowed me with both behavioral and cognitive techniques and skills as I have worked with clients battling addictions, phobias and relationships challenges.”

About Me

I offer a space where we can explore deep-rooted patterns and find practical ways forward. Drawing on psychodynamic and person-centred approaches, I also integrate behavioural and cognitive techniques. This blend helps clients navigate challenges like addictions, phobias, and relationship difficulties. We can work together to understand your experiences and develop concrete strategies for lasting change.

Approach

Sessions move between gentle exploration of how past experiences shape your choices and focused, practical skill-building paced to what feels manageable. From my Kisumu office or via English-language online sessions, the rhythm is steady: attentive listening in session, occasional brief assessments when clarity helps, and concrete exercises to practise between meetings. I draw on short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection so you can notice shifts quickly and sustain them. People facing entrenched patterns—whether through loss, addiction, or relationship strain—often find this balance helpful.
