Josephine Enechukwu

Josephine Enechukwu is a Registered Provisional Psychologist and Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Counselling in Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University. She provides in-person and online counselling for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, offering a compassionate and collaborative space for clients to explore challenges and create meaningful change. Her work is grounded in attachment theory and the belief that healing often happens through emotionally corrective experiences. Josephine focuses on helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore their stories while developing new patterns of connection, emotional expression, and resilience. She uses an integrative, trauma-informed approach, drawing on emotionally focused therapy (individual, couple, and family), narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, client-centred therapy, Circle of Security attachment work, and creative approaches such as art, play, and sandtray techniques. With over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, university students, and families, Josephine works with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, self-esteem, anger, trauma, academic pressures, life transitions, parenting challenges, attachment concerns, adoption and fostering, and cultural or cross-cultural stress. She also supports students in strengthening study habits, preparing for major exams, clarifying educational goals, and identifying emotional or personal barriers to learning, collaborating with licensed career counsellors when formal assessments are needed. As an immigrant parent of three teens and young adults, and someone married for nearly two decades, Josephine brings a warm, relatable, and multicultural perspective to her work. She has supported orphanage and adoptive families, founded the Polished Daughters Girls Club, and led youth leadership programs, reflecting her passion for mentoring and community building. For clients who wish, she can also incorporate Christian faith into counselling. Outside of her clinical work, Josephine enjoys mission outreach, reading, interior design, cooking healthy meals, playing board games, and attending family sports or school events. She values time with her husband and children and enjoys unwinding with inspirational sermons or podcasts. Josephine is committed to walking alongside clients with empathy, insight, and care, helping them navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and grow with confidence at every stage of life.
