Wellness Checks
Mental wellness check, assessment and screening using validated tests.
Wellness Check is a screening package that focuses on exploring various aspects of your mental health and wellbeing (your stress/anxiety levels, mood changes, your psychological strengths, your style of working on your goals and your overall coping skills and psychological wellbeing). This is in addition to routine preliminary screening for psychological difficulties.
HOW? Wellness check is carried out through intelligence and projective tests… these are standardized questionnaires that are administered to clients. You are expected to answer questions about yourself and there is a score attached to each question which are summed up to provide you with a result and an interpretation of what the score means. After evaluation of your responses, a one-to-one single session is conducted where the therapist does a clinical interview to give you detailed feedback. The Wellness check summary report is provided.
Mental Disorder Treatment
Treatment of mental health disorders using various psychological approaches.
At Kisiwa Wellness we ensure holistic treatment by utilizing various psychological approaches—or psychotherapy—to help individuals manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Common therapies include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, and DBT, aimed at improving functioning. These methods often combine with medication, psychoeducation, and lifestyle changes to address diverse conditions. These approaches aim to reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, and enhance overall quality of life.
Therapy Sessions
Individual, Couple, Family and group therapy.
Individual, couple, family, and group therapies offer diverse, evidence-based approaches to mental health, addressing issues ranging from personal distress to relational conflict. These approaches can be combined, such as using individual therapy to support family therapy, offering comprehensive care for better mental well-being.
Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions between a client and a trained therapist focusing on personal thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns.
Couple Therapy: Focuses on two people in an intimate relationship, resolving conflicts and improving communication, often dealing with intimacy issues and relationship distress.
Family Therapy: Here we use a systemic family approach to treat mental health disorders or behavioural conditions by psycho-educating family members on the condition, guiding them on how to support the recovery journey, and improving relationships between parents, children, and other relatives.
Group Therapy: A therapeutic, supportive environment where 5-10 people with similar issues (e.g., addiction, grief) meet with a clinician to learn from shared experiences.
Addiction Care
Addiction screening, placement and treatment.
Addiction treatment involves a structured continuum of care that begins with screening to identify potential substance use disorders, followed by assessment and placement into appropriate levels of care such as rehabilitation centres, and finally, tailored treatment interventions to promote recovery. This process is often client-centered, involving multidisciplinary teams and standardized tools. This structured approach, from initial screening to long-term aftercare, is designed to provide effective and personalized care for individuals dealing with various forms of addiction such as gambling, substance abuse etc.
Talks & Coaching
Mental health talks/training, coaching and mediation.
There is a concerning increase of depression and suicide cases in Kenya. Depression being the 2nd leading cause of death, potentially stemming from unresolved stress, academic pressures, financial pressures, relationship pressures, climate change and hard economic times affecting people’s mental health.
Amid this growing concern, Kisiwa Wellness is taking proactive steps to advance the dialogue on mental health, recognizing its significant influence on learning and achievement.
We provide educational talks to primary, secondary and tertiary education institutions as part of our unique approach to addressing these issues.
We also provide talks to corporate institutions to help create awareness and normalize the conversation on mental wellness by creating safe spaces for dialogue to help realize a return on investment through identification and management of stress triggers and work-life balance.
Kisiwa Wellness also provides coaching and mediation services; Mental health coaching focuses on building skills, habits, and resilience, while mediation reduces anxiety and stress by facilitating respectful communication and solving conflicts in personal or professional relationships. Coaching and mediation are critical to mental health by fostering proactive well-being, resilience, and conflict resolution, addressing issues before they require clinical intervention. Together, these approaches offer a comprehensive, proactive, and preventative layer of support to enhance overall emotional wellness.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical/Counselling Supervision
Kisiwa wellness has trained supervisors who offer clinical supervision to fellow mental health practitioners. Clinical supervision in mental health is a formal, relationship-based process where experienced professionals guide, train, and evaluate clinicians to ensure ethical, effective, and evidence-based care. It serves three core functions—formative (skill building), restorative (support/burnout prevention), and normative (compliance)—while improving patient outcomes and professional development.
