Lilian Aluka

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“Experienced Associate Researcher, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy counselor and trainer for teachers and community health volunteers.”

About Me

I guide individuals through healing from difficult experiences using trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy. My background as an experienced associate researcher means I offer an evidence-informed approach to recovery. I also train teachers and community health volunteers, ensuring I provide clear, practical tools. Clients seeking a structured, empowering path to lasting resilience after trauma will find a supportive space here.

Approach

Experience as an associate researcher shapes how I structure sessions — practical, focused steps that build safety and skills. In my Dadaab practice and online, in English or Kiswahili, we set clear goals, practice grounding and coping in-session, and I offer brief, measurable exercises to try between meetings. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace: we review progress, adjust tools, and use trauma-focused methods alongside creative approaches when helpful. People seeking a clear, skill-based route to steadier coping and restored daily functioning often find this approach useful.
