Professional counsellor Gathoni Mbugua tells ANDANJE WOBANDA why Kenyans need to get more relaxed about seeking therapy.
I am the lead counsellor at CareTech Medical, a rehabilitation centre in Kiambu. My work involves treating people with substance abuse disorders, and management of mental health issues
I got into counselling five years ago. I was studying towards a degree in commerce when a family friend recommended I take up a certificate in personal development.

I am now doing my master’s in clinical psychology at the United States International University Africa.
