Meet Wangithi Rahedi — Licensed Counseling Psychologist & Online Therapist in Kenya
Hello, I’m Wangithi Rahedi — founder and counseling psychologist behind Pink Amazon Therapy. For over nine years I have dedicated my practice to helping people across Kenya heal, grow, and build lives of genuine wellbeing. Pink Amazon Therapy itself is six years old, and in that time I have had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of clients as a healing partner, not a director.
Based in Nairobi and fully accessible online, Pink Amazon Therapy is a safe, confidential, and compassionate space for anyone ready to do the work. My role isn’t to hand you answers — it’s to help you find them.
Passionate. Professional. Reliable.
Who Am I?
I am a licensed counseling psychologist, a certified CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) specialist, and a trained transitional coach for young adults. With over nine years of professional experience — six of them in private practice — I bring both clinical depth and genuine personal investment to every client relationship.
I work primarily with:
- Young adults (ages 13–20) navigating identity, academic pressure, and life transitions
- Women and men (ages 18–45) working through anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma, and self-esteem
- Couples seeking to understand each other and grow together
My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), integrated with talk therapy, behaviour therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I am also a mental health educator and I constantly update my practice to reflect current breakthroughs in psychology.
What Is Counselling — and Could It Help You?
Counselling gives you a structured, non-judgmental space to understand and work through the issues behind difficult thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It is not about being told what to do — it is about gaining a fresh perspective, building practical tools, and reducing the suffering that comes from carrying things alone.
As your counselor, I cannot solve your problems for you. What I can do is help you see them differently, navigate them with greater clarity, and move through them with more confidence. In our early sessions, we will spend time understanding the different areas of your life so I can shape a course of treatment that fits you specifically.
You might benefit from counselling if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Emotional difficulties — sadness, anxiety, persistent anger, or low mood
- Relationship challenges — with a partner, family, or in the workplace
- Difficulty sleeping or functioning day-to-day
- A recent traumatic event, bereavement, or significant loss
- Struggles with self-esteem, body image, or identity
- Concerns around food, disordered eating, or addictions
- Academic or professional performance concerns
- Suicidal thoughts or concerns about substance use
This list is not exhaustive. If something in your life feels stuck — even if you can’t name it yet — that is enough reason to reach out.
Areas I Specialise In
I work with a wide range of presenting issues. Some of the most common include:
- Anxiety and stress management
- Depression and persistent low mood
- Grief and loss
- Relationship difficulties and couples therapy
- Trauma and PTSD
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Identity and spiritual struggles
- Anger management
- Academic and career performance
- Disordered eating and body image concerns
- Alcohol and substance use
- Family conflict and communication
I also facilitate workplace mental health keynotes and tailored training programs for schools, corporates, and institutions — covering topics such as emotional resilience, conflict resolution, and mental health excellence in young adults.
The Pink Amazon Therapy Experience
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Here is what you can expect when you work with me:
- You are in the driver’s seat. I provide navigation — you make the choices. We are always on equal footing.
- You will feel genuinely heard. This is a space where all of your needs, reservations, and expressions are welcome.
- I care about you beyond the therapy room. The principles I share with clients are ones I live by myself.
- I am LGBTQ+ affirming. All are welcome at Pink Amazon Therapy.
- I bring my whole self into every session — and I will be honest with you if I ever feel I cannot.
- I am constantly advancing my knowledge to ensure my practice reflects current, evidence-based psychology.
How Online Therapy at Pink Amazon Works
Getting started is straightforward. Here is what to expect:
- Book a get-to-know-you session first — a low-pressure opportunity for us to see if we are a good fit before committing to a full programme.
- Once payment is made, you will receive access to an online calendar to choose a session time that works for you.
- Sessions are 50–60 minutes long and take place online, making them accessible from anywhere in Kenya.
- Working hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm East Africa Time (EAT). After-hours sessions are available for an additional fee of Ksh 3,000 (individual) or Ksh 3,500 (couples).
- For most clients, a starting point of 10 weekly sessions works well. From there, we decide together how often to continue based on your progress and goals.
- Emergency sessions can sometimes be arranged — please get in touch directly if you are in urgent need.
For clients under 18, a parent or guardian may book on their behalf. Teenagers are encouraged to verbally confirm their willingness to participate.
