About Josephine

Josephine Nabukeera is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and related difficulties. Josephine also supports issues such as grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and career worries.

She uses a client-centred, integrative approach. That means she starts by listening and then brings in methods that fit the person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Josephine also has experience as an Employment Assistance Programme counsellor. In that role she helps employees manage work-related anxiety and find a better work-life balance. She uses that workplace experience to help people handle pressure and set boundaries.

In sessions she talks through current difficulties, identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and supports learning new ways of coping. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy may be used alongside attachment-informed work and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when helpful.

People who prefer clear, practical conversation tend to find this approach useful. Josephine asks about what the client wants to change and sets small steps to test new ways of coping. She encourages regular review so the work stays relevant and focused on achievable goals.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit a person’s values rather than trying to push thoughts away. It can help with anxiety and unhelpful avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to test and change patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and agree on methods together. This collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT or attachment-informed work suits the current concern.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that avoid travel time. If quieter surroundings or less video time help, that can be arranged when confirming session options. Registered or accredited professionals are available through the service to support people using these approaches.
