Mrs Irene Kisakye

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“An experienced social worker/counselor and self esteemed professional who fore-sees the well-being of humanity livelihoods in the society”

About Me

As an experienced social worker and counsellor, I support individuals seeking stability and well-being in their lives. Drawing on a Mental Health Social Work background, my focus is on helping people navigate life's complexities. Sessions explore challenges and develop practical strategies for a more secure future. We work to foster holistic well-being, empowering you to build lasting resilience. This grounded approach is ideal for those seeking comprehensive support to strengthen their livelihoods.

Approach

Guided by a commitment to healthier community livelihoods, my work focuses on practical, humane steps we take together to steady daily life. In Kampala and online, in English, sessions are paced to your needs—goal-focused check-ins, clear priorities and room for immediate concerns. We examine patterns tied to stress, anxiety, trauma or substance use, try targeted exercises between meetings, and reshape plans as change emerges. People wanting tangible coping skills and stronger family or community functioning tend to find this way of working helpful.
