About Me

With over two decades supporting individuals, I offer a compassionate space where diverse life experiences are truly understood. My extensive experience means I can guide you through unique challenges, honouring your cultural background and personal history. We will collaborate to explore effective strategies, ensuring each session provides clarity and practical steps you can use. This tailored approach helps foster resilience and growth, whatever your context.

Approach

Years supporting people across cultures inform how I hold sessions, attending closely to your story, cultural cues and the pace that feels safe for you. In Nairobi I work in English and Kiswahili, often meeting with individuals, parents or families in a calm room where we set collaborative goals and practical next steps. Sessions blend gentle inquiry, short between-session tasks and clear check-ins so progress is tangible. This approach suits those seeking steady, culturally-aware support through life changes and family challenges.
