About Me

As a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years’ experience, I focus on helping individuals understand their mental health. I provide specialist psychological assessments to thoroughly explore the interconnected factors shaping your experiences. This detailed approach allows us to make sense of your unique challenges together. I then guide you towards practical ways to manage complex feelings. Clients valuing a clear, structured path to improved well-being will find a supportive partner in our work.

Approach

Assessment leads directly into focused, measurable planning so each session targets clear goals and small, achievable changes. Meetings in my Nairobi clinic or via English and Kiswahili online are structured and time-efficient, alternating careful review with practical skill-building, and I often set brief between-session tasks to track progress. I use observations and client feedback to adjust pacing, balancing emotional processing with concrete coping strategies. People seeking a clear, outcome-oriented path through complex feelings tend to find this approach helpful.
