"You don't need to see to be seen."
Come as you are. No judgment, ever.
Sikivu is an affordable counselling space for individuals, couples, children and groups — built on one idea: that being truly listened to, without being judged, is where change begins.

A space to think out loud, safely
Sikivu means "attentive" in Swahili — the ability to truly hear someone. That's the whole practice: a warm, structured space where you're heard first and helped second, whether you're working through stress, a relationship, a childhood pattern, or a season that's simply become too heavy to carry alone.
Sessions draw on person-centred, trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioural approaches, adapted to you rather than a script. Every conversation stays private — nothing you share leaves the room.
Good to know before you book
Sikivu offers counselling support for everyday life challenges, stress, relationships and personal growth. It is not a substitute for emergency, psychiatric or crisis care. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please contact a local emergency service or crisis line first.
Find your fit
Every package is priced to make consistent support realistic — not a luxury you save up for.
Individual
One-on-one sessions for anxiety, grief, career pressure, self-esteem or simply needing a steady space to process life.

Weekly or biweekly sessions work best for most people. First sessions focus on understanding what's going on and what support looks like for you — no pressure to have it all figured out.
Couple
A neutral, structured space for two people to actually hear each other again — before, during or after a rough patch.
Read more
Sessions focus on communication patterns, rebuilding trust, and practical tools you both take away — not taking sides.
Child
Age-appropriate support for children navigating anxiety, school pressure, family change or big emotions.

A parent or guardian joins the intake conversation. Sessions use simple, gentle language suited to the child's age.
Group
Small, facilitated groups for shared experiences — grief, burnout, new-parent stress, and more.

Groups are kept small so everyone gets space to speak. Confidentiality within the group is a ground rule from session one.
Student
Full individual sessions, priced for student budgets — because support shouldn't wait until you can afford it.

Same depth and confidentiality as a standard individual session. A valid student ID is all that's needed.

Wellness and resilience, for people under real pressure
Through PMUP — Psychological Maintenance Under Pressure — Sikivu runs resilience and wellness sessions for organisations where staff carry heavy, sustained pressure: correctional and security services, healthcare teams, schools, and corporate leadership.
PMUP is currently piloted with staff at G.K. Kitengela Prison, under formal institutional endorsement. Programmes are built around your team's specific pressures — not a generic wellness talk.
