Zeyna Awan

Clinical Psychologist

“Practicing clinical psychologist, uses a clinical perspective of approaching individuals along a developmental continuum within a bio-psychosocial context. Offers services including individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, crises intervention and psychological assessments.”

About Me

I work with individuals, groups, and families, understanding that your life unfolds along a developmental continuum. My clinical perspective explores how biological, psychological, and social factors shape your unique journey. I help you understand your experiences within this broader context, whether navigating personal challenges or seeking crisis intervention. This approach fosters resilience and provides practical steps forward.

Approach

My work follows a developmental lens that tracks how biology, mood, attention and relationships shape your patterns and then shifts toward practical, measurable steps for change. In Nairobi I offer in-person and online sessions in English, creating a steady, structured space where pacing and focus are negotiated to fit your day-to-day demands. Therapy blends careful assessment, skill-building, mindfulness practice and targeted trauma processing, with collaborative tasks between meetings and regular check-ins to monitor progress. This approach often suits adolescents, adults and parents facing transitions, attention or mood challenges.
