Zara Hajee

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

Feeling unfulfilled, frustrated, and disappointed in yourself? Do you think you have failed in life? Are you feeling discouraged and stuck in survival mode? I can help you by offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you will feel safe and guided during this important journey of self-discovery.

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist registered with the Counsellors and Psychologists Board in Highridge, Nairobi. I work with adults facing addiction, major life transitions, career challenges, mood disorders, and relationship problems. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, trauma and relationship counseling, and focused psychoeducation in confidential sessions.

Approach

I mostly employ the Humanistic Approach, which sees people for who they truly are—unique individuals. This method is helpful for clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, personality disorders, interpersonal and family relationship issues, low self-esteem, and feeling a lack of "wholeness". I will help you look for personal meaning and comfort with who you are right now.
