Amani Counselling Centre and Training Institute

Amani Counselling Centre and Training Institute (ACCTI) is a not-for-profit counselling and training organisation founded in 1979. Its name comes from the Swahili word for peace. Alongside professional counselling for individuals, couples, families and people dealing with trauma or grief, it trains counsellors and community workers. Courses include a Diploma in Counselling Psychology, a Certificate in Counselling Psychology, short courses in trauma, addiction, family therapy and child counselling, and programmes in social work and community development. TVETA lists the institute as registered and licensed, with KNEC-examined diplomas in counselling and in social work and community development and a craft certificate in social development. The centre also runs employee wellness programmes for companies, psychosocial support in communities and capacity building for care providers. Its own website gives its headquarters on Mbagathi Way (now Raila Odinga Way). TVETA lists a separate branch in Nairobi CBD.
