About Josephine

Josephine Nabukeera is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and parenting pressures. She also helps with issues such as self-esteem, anger, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and life changes.

Josephine uses a client-centred, integrative approach. She adapts methods to suit what an individual needs. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals and understanding patterns that keep problems going.

She combines several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed work. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions and rebuild day-to-day routines. Dialectical skills and emotionally focused ideas are also brought in when they fit the concern.

In work with employees she draws on experience as an Employment Assistance Programme counsellor. That background informs support for people coping with high-pressure workplaces or trying to balance work and home demands.

Josephine aims for straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way and what can change. She encourages practical coping strategies alongside exploring deeper relational and attachment patterns.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. It can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns and family of origin problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, for example by removing travel time or enabling shorter check-ins during a break. It also allows sessions to continue when relocation or work demands make face-to-face meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists vary in their exact online options, so check the available formats when you arrange your first appointment.
