Josephine Nabukeera, BACP

Josephine Nabukeera is a counsellor with nine years of experience, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming. Her style aims to help clients feel heard and take steps towards the goals that matter to them.

She believes most people already carry the resources to grow, and she works alongside them to make that progress practical. Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps rather than jargon. Josephine adapts her approach to each person, drawing on several ways of working to suit different needs.

In practice she uses client-centred principles to listen deeply and build trust. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to small changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used when thinking patterns and behaviours need practical adjustment.

Josephine has particular experience helping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also supports people facing parenting strains, career pressures, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image, dissociation, divorce and family of origin problems. She works with people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and ADHD-related challenges. Her work as an Employment Assistance Programme counsellor informs how she supports work-related anxiety and work-life balance.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it focuses on action rather than only on thoughts.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and feelings. It can help with abandonment, attachment issues and struggles in forming or trusting close connections.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering acceptance and empathy so people can explore concerns at their own pace. This approach supports a wide range of issues including self-esteem, grief and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adapting techniques as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups between face-to-face meetings when that option is available. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when a quick update is useful. Ask about the practical options so sessions can be arranged to suit day-to-day life.
