Ms Margaret Tumusiime

Psychologist

“An Experienced and Competent Child & Adolescent/Youth Psychology Specialist .”

About Me

As an experienced Counseling psychologist, this specialist understands the unique emotional worlds of children and adolescents. They create a supportive space where young people can explore feelings and challenges. Sessions are tailored to each individual, helping them navigate developmental stages and build resilience. Families seeking dedicated, compassionate support for their child's emotional well-being will find a strong match here.

Approach

Experience guides a steady, structured approach that balances safety and curiosity as we explore feelings, behaviours and transitions with young people. In Kampala and online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions move at the child’s pace—short activities, reflective check-ins and clear goals so families know what to expect between meetings. I blend acceptance-focused exercises with practical steps to manage anger, address trauma responses and support developmental shifts, bringing caregivers in when joint planning will help. This way of working tends to suit families wanting practical, developmentally attuned support.
