Mr Stephen Opiyo

Psychological Counselor

“An expirienced psychollogically counselor with 13 years of experience.”

About Me

With 13 years of experience, I offer a grounded and supportive space as a psychological counsellor. I help individuals navigate life's complexities, fostering understanding and new perspectives. Our collaborative sessions provide a safe environment to explore thoughts and feelings. This approach is ideal for those seeking a compassionate guide. Together, we can make sense of your experiences and find a way forward.

Approach

After thirteen years supporting people through difficult transitions, my focus is on how we work together—steady, practical steps that respect your pace. In Kisumu I offer in-person sessions in English and Kiswahili and remote appointments for those farther afield. Sessions blend focused listening, brief assessments and gentle creative tasks to surface patterns around abuse or addiction, with clear check-ins and practical coping experiments between meetings. This approach fits individuals, families and communities seeking concrete change wrapped in thoughtful support.
