About Josephine
Josephine Sultana is an AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency. She works with adults, parents and older adults and brings practical, down-to-earth support for life changes and everyday struggles. Her manner is warm and collaborative, aiming to help clients feel understood and find steady ways forward.
Josephine has practised in public and private mental health settings for more than 15 years. She has worked with people experiencing trauma, burnout, addictions, chronic health challenges and hormone-related concerns such as PCOS. Since 2016 she has been in private practice and combines psychological approaches with attention to physical factors that shape mood and energy.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour patterns, Emotion-Focused Therapy to deepen emotional understanding, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based choices. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice relationship patterns that affect how they connect with others.
Josephine expanded her training into integrative health and is a Registered Integrative Health Practitioner Level 2 with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists. She may include functional assessments such as organic acids or mineral analysis when clinically relevant, to help map possible biochemical contributors to mood or fatigue.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical tools that fit everyday life. She aims to help people build self-awareness, change unhelpful habits, and create routines that support long-term wellbeing.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Josephine encourages a short intake conversation to clarify goals and agree on a straightforward plan.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and helps people choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and codependency patterns. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and processing core emotions so people understand their responses and can build healthier emotional habits. This is often helpful for grief, relationship distress and trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape trust and closeness, and can help people change repeating dynamics that cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something does not fit.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a working week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from familiar surroundings or who need flexibility for health or caring commitments. Josephine will help plan a format and schedule that align with your goals and daily life.
