Mrs Lucy Gachenia

Licensed Professional Counselor

“A self driven and energetic Professional Counselor, highly organized and efficient person, with a thorough and precise approach to work. Able to manage own time efficiently, and prioritize workload. Experienced to working at tight deadlines and under considerable pressure.”

About Me

Seeking support can feel overwhelming. I offer a structured, thorough approach to Counseling, helping you navigate challenges with clarity. My organised style ensures our time together is used efficiently, exploring your unique situation precisely. This approach is ideal for those seeking clear steps and a focused path to understanding themselves. We will work energetically to prioritise what matters most, helping you build resilience.

Approach

I begin with a focused assessment to map your priorities and set measurable short- and mid-term goals. Sessions follow a predictable rhythm: review, targeted skill work, and agreed action steps you can practise between meetings. I use brief evidence-informed exercises, worksheets and real-world experiments, then regularly review progress and adjust the plan. For remote clients I provide secure video sessions, concise session summaries and resource links, aiming for clear momentum, accountability and practical resilience-building.
