The therapist
Minneh Kimunya
She is a dedicated therapist, licensed in Kenya with 4+ years of experience.
She works with adult individuals, couples and teenagers above 14 years of age, in the room in Nairobi or through a screen.
Her work brings together psychological science and deeply human care: therapy that is grounded in evidence while staying warm, collaborative, culturally sensitive and practical.
How she works
You will not be treated as a diagnosis, a problem to solve, or a collection of symptoms. You will be met as a whole person: your experiences, relationships, culture, history, strengths and current circumstances all matter, and all of them come into the room with you.
She speaks with clients rather than at them. That shows up in small things; the language stays plain, the reasoning is shared rather than pronounced, and nothing is decided about you without you.
Instead of “fix your anxiety”, the work is to understand what your anxiety is trying to tell you. Instead of “stop being a people pleaser”, it is learning to care for others without abandoning yourself.
What you should leave with
Not simply the feeling of having been heard. Greater self-understanding, more emotional awareness, healthier boundaries, and tools you can actually use in your life; the kind that still work on a Wednesday afternoon when she is not in the room.
What she believes
You do not have to wait until you are falling apart to deserve support.
Therapy can be a space for healing, but it can equally be a space for growth, reflection, prevention, relationship work, self-discovery, and becoming more intentional about the life you want to live.
If that sounds like the right room
The first step is a 15-minute consultation, to work out what you need and whether working together makes sense.
