Our Story

Your Trusted Partner in Mental Health

Elpis Counselling Centre is a Nairobi-based registered mental health and psychosocial support organization that is fully aligned with World Health Organization (WHO) 2026 Mental Health at Work guidelines.

Established in 2018, we are committed to democratizing access to evidence-based emotional wellbeing support for individuals, families, corporate teams, and marginalized communities across Kenya. We provide both in-person services at our Westlands, Nairobi clinical hub and virtual sessions to reach clients across the country.

Our practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach that centers Kenyan lived experiences. We deliberately avoid broad-scale uniform policies that often fail to address localized cultural stigmas and cohort-based demands. Every intervention is tailored to the cultural context of Kenyan audiences to maximize relevance and impact.
