Ms Margaret Diana

Counseling Psychologist

“Experienced, demonstrated history in mental health care industry. Strong business development professional, skilled in case management.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for you to explore life's challenges. Drawing on my Masters in Counseling Psychology and extensive mental health experience, I help individuals navigate complex feelings. My approach is structured, providing clear guidance and practical tools for your journey. We can work together to develop strategies that fit your unique needs. Clients appreciate my organised style and the well-supported path we create together.

Approach

Years of experience shapes a session rhythm that balances assessment, focused skill-building and follow-up. I see clients in Kampala and online in English, keeping sessions punctual and records precise to support case management between meetings. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused: we set achievable targets, use short assessments, practice skills in and between sessions, and coordinate with family or other professionals when helpful. People who value an organised, accountable way to address mood, behaviour or relationship concerns often find this approach useful.
