Mrs Monica N. Nguata

Registered Counselor

“A licensed Counselling Therapist with more than 10 years of therapy.”

About Me

I help individuals navigate life's complexities and foster lasting personal growth. With over a decade as a licensed Counseling Therapist, I offer a steady, experienced presence. Our sessions provide a confidential space where we can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach suits those seeking clarity, resilience, and a deeper understanding of themselves. My aim is to support you in finding practical ways forward.

Approach

A licensed Counselling Therapist with more than 10 years of therapy, I guide sessions with steady focus and gentle curiosity to help you untangle stress, mood shifts and life transitions. Whether we meet in La Crête or via secure online video, in English or Kiswahili, sessions balance practical skills, clear check-ins and time to name what feels overwhelming. I introduce short, manageable experiments—grounding, boundary practice and reflective tasks—to try between meetings and notice small shifts. This collaborative, down-to-earth pace often helps those facing burnout, anger or early-adult transitions.
