About Josephine
Josephine Sultana is an AASW-registered social worker with 15 years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and money and financial issues among many other concerns. She works in a warm, down-to-earth way and helps clients gain clarity, build practical tools, and manage life changes. Josephine draws on psychotherapy and integrative health ideas to treat issues like trauma, grief, sleep problems, addiction and compassion fatigue.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is useful now: noticing patterns, trying small changes, and setting values-based goals. She mixes talk therapy with practical strategies that relate to everyday life, such as routines, communication skills and emotion regulation techniques.
Josephine trained in social work and has a Master of Counselling and Human Services where she specialised in Emotion-Focused Therapy. She also practices as a Registered Integrative Health Practitioner Level 2 and uses evidence-informed lifestyle and functional assessments when appropriate to look at how physical health links with mood and energy.
In practice she commonly uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches. She tailors these to each person’s needs and goals rather than following one fixed method.
People choose Josephine when they want clear steps forward and a therapist who considers both the emotional and physical sides of wellbeing. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and working with strong emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others; it can help with grief, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain distress and introduces practical strategies to change them, which can be helpful for depression, sleeping problems and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Josephine draws from these methods and will discuss which fits a person’s goals and preferences. Clients and therapist make decisions collaboratively, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different pacing and tools, such as homework exercises, behavioural experiments and mindfulness practices, while keeping the focus on practical changes that suit everyday routines.
