Experimentation with drugs and alcohol, anxiety, sexuality concerns, schoolwork and identity, family crises such as divorce or death all affect children differently than adults.

Relationship
Therapy

Many of us know that relationships are hard work-be they romantic, work, friendship, family or just general human relationships. Like cars, relationships require regular maintenance to keep them running well. If there is an issue, it is best to have it repaired right away to avoid further complications down the road.

Work Life
Balance

Being able to recognize a separation between a job and living a fulfilling life is essential to improving one’s wellbeing — both physically and mentally. Work-life balance is not something everyone can accomplish and often requires something significant to alter their mindset and perception of what is important.

Most people have days when they feel less inspired or motivated than usual. Many of us feel our best less often than we would like to. Words of encouragement can be a helpful tool for getting out of a slump. Encouragement has been linked to higher success in completion of goals, improved self-esteem, and increased openness. We are proud to have developed this Website for Merab Akinyi. We, as a company appreciate and support the noble work that she is doing.

I opened the site. I was blown off. What a great job. Keep it up.

Your website is very comprehensive but it is set out very clearly. You seem to cover a lot of areas and age groups. Perhaps there is a lack of therapists in Kenya and that is why. Here in Australia you would probably focus on one particular group only. Either babies & children / teens or adults. I hope the website brings in the work for you.

Counselling in Kenya is becoming a new norm in Kenya. We need to embrace it and let the experts- therapists take us through the healing process. Merab your doing a great job to change lives. Keep up the good work
