About Josephine

Sometimes life feels heavier than it should. You might be carrying more than people realize — juggling responsibilities, keeping it together for everyone else, yet feeling worn down inside. I provide in-person and online counselling for individuals, couples, families, and groups. I believe that healing begins with the individual — but its impact reaches far beyond. When one person experiences meaningful change, it positively influences relationships, family dynamics, and the broader community.

My approach is grounded in attachment theory and focuses on the power of emotionally corrective experiences. I create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their stories, feel validated in their emotions, and begin to rewrite their narratives with clarity and hope. I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach, drawing on emotionally focused therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, client-centred therapy, Circle of Security Parenting, and sand tray techniques. Together, we work not just through insight but by creating new patterns of connection and emotional expression, helping clients build resilience and restore wholeness.

Psychology is my second career. Before it, I spent over 20 years as a child, youth, and family worker, supporting children, adolescents, young adults, university students, and families through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image concerns, academic stress, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women, including mothers, single parents, and women balancing career, family, and cultural expectations.

As an immigrant parent of three teens and young adults, and someone married for almost two decades, I bring a relatable, compassionate, and multicultural perspective to my work. I’ve supported orphanage and adoptive families, founded the Polished Daughters Girls Club, and led programs like Leader in Me, reflecting my passion for mentoring youth and building community. For clients who would like it, I also weave over three decades of Christian faith into counselling. I offer counselling in English, Igbo, and Yoruba.

I’m here to listen, guide, and collaborate with you so we can navigate challenges together. Whether you’re facing relational difficulties, emotional distress, or simply seeking personal growth, I walk alongside you with empathy and intention, helping you thrive at every stage of life.

A bit more about me

When I’m not working, I enjoy mission outreaches, reading, exploring interior design, cooking healthy recipes, playing board games, and attending family sports, band, or school events. I love winding down with my husband and children, snuggling under a duvet while listening to inspirational sermons or podcasts. A quote I live by: “If you help an individual, you support a family. If you support a family, you strengthen a community. If you strengthen a community, you uplift a nation. If you uplift a nation, you change the world.” (Anonymous)
