Rogers Mwita

I am a dedicated Counselling Psychologist with a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Alupe University, with a strong passion for providing psychosocial support to individuals and communities affected by trauma, displacement, and social challenges. I am committed to promoting mental well-being, resilience, and dignity among vulnerable populations.

I have skills in individual and group counselling, psychological assessment, and case management, including intake, documentation, referrals, and follow-up. I am knowledgeable in trauma-informed care, Psychological First Aid (PFA), and basic mental health interventions, enabling me to respond effectively to clients in distress.

I am empathetic, culturally sensitive, and able to build trust with diverse populations, including refugees, children, and survivors of gender-based violence. I uphold high standards of confidentiality and ethical practice and work well both independently and within multidisciplinary teams.

I am highly motivated to contribute to humanitarian and community-based programs that strengthen psychosocial well-being and support recovery and resilience.
