What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that utilizes my expertise in counseling and psychosocial support programs to make a positive impact on vulnerable populations.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Counseling Psychologist with extensive experience in providing technical support for psychosocial support programs. I have a strong background in trauma counseling, psychological assessments, and report writing. My expertise lies in planning and implementing psychosocial project activities, including facilitating individual and group counseling sessions.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including the Ministry of Defence, Bristol Park Hospital, and Machakos Level 5 Hospital, providing counseling services to vulnerable populations. I am committed to maintaining professionalism and ethics in my services delivery.

I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the United States International University and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Psychology from the University of Nairobi. I am a certified professional mediator and have a certificate of proficiency from the College of Insurance.
