The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:
Hey, beautiful souls! Today on the More Sibyl Podcast, I’m thrilled to feature Dr. Michelle Mathero Nhkalamba, a pioneering clinical psychologist from Malawi’s vibrant capital, Lilongwe. Growing up with seven siblings, Michelle's early education in local schools fueled her passion for psychology, leading her to attain a BA in Humanities from the University of Malawi. She then pursued a master’s in Clinical Psychology from Bangor University, UK, and a PhD from Rhodes University with the support of the Beit Trust Scholarship.
In our enlightening conversation, we explored Michelle's unique approach to mental health, which marries Western-trained methodologies with Malawi's cultural realities. From offering counseling under trees to integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational interviewing and mindfulness, her work is a testament to culturally conscious healing. Michelle’s dedication to accessible mental health care, her research in safeguarding ethical practices, and her advocacy for those in high-risk settings illustrate her commitment to transforming societal views on mental wellness in Africa. In our conversation, we touched on the realities of mental health in Africa, the struggles of being a "strong African woman," and the need for societal change. Michelle’s honesty and dedication left me in awe, and I know her story will touch your heart too.
