Dr Lucy Njiru

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“A compassionate clinical psychologist with wide experience in assessment, diagnosis, and managing mental health illnesses and life challenges using evidence-based interventions. Also, wide experience offering trainings and mental health talks in corporate workspace.”

About Me

As a compassionate clinical psychologist, I guide adults through mental health challenges and life’s complexities. I deeply understand how these can impact daily life, and together, we can explore what’s happening. I offer practical, proven strategies from evidence-based interventions to help you gain clarity and cope effectively. My aim is to create a supportive space where you can work towards lasting change. This approach suits those seeking structured, compassionate support.

Approach

You’ll notice a steady, practical rhythm in sessions that combines careful assessment with focused skill-building, paced to what feels manageable for you. I meet people in Nairobi or online, in English or Kiswahili, creating a private space where we track symptoms, try brief experiments between sessions, and adjust approaches as new information emerges. Therapy often blends short-term strategies for coping with tailored work on trauma, grief, or mood patterns so you feel clearer and more able to act. This way of working suits those who want structured, compassionate progress.
