Mrs Jane Makena

Counseling Psychologist

“I take pride in being able to assist many people throughout my career. Their mental wellness is my concern and I am dedicated to making them whole.”

About Me

I am a Counseling Psychologist based in Machakos Town, Eastern Kenya. I provide diagnostic assessments and child and adolescent therapy. I offer family therapy and mediation for family issues.

Approach

My commitment to restoring wellbeing guides a practical, steady approach that keeps each person's needs at the centre of our work. I see clients in Machakos and online, using English and Kiswahili so children, adolescents and families can join in ways that suit their lives. Sessions combine careful assessment, age‑appropriate activities and guided family dialogue, with small between‑session steps and feedback to track change. Those seeking clear, collaborative pacing tend to find this approach helpful.
