About Josephine
Josephine Sultana is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and has worked in clinical settings for 15 years. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Counselling and Human Services, and has been in private practice since 2016. Josephine works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, sleep problems, addictions and career or life changes.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to help people understand their feelings and patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring emotional meaning when that helps.
Josephine also brings an integrative health perspective. She has additional training as an Integrative Health Practitioner Level 2 and uses that background to consider how lifestyle, nutrition and physical factors can affect mood and energy. Where useful, she may discuss functional assessments that look at biochemical contributors to wellbeing.
Clients commonly work on improving sleep, managing stress and anxiety, navigating break-ups or relationship conflict, coping with grief, and addressing burnout or compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with body image, sexual and intimacy-related concerns, attachment wounds, and difficulties linked to adoption, abandonment or blended families.
Josephine practices in Australia and provides therapy in English. She aims to help people build practical skills for day-to-day life while also attending to deeper emotional patterns that keep problems repeating.
How Josephine uses psychological approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unclear about next steps in life.Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and making sense of strong emotions. It can help with relationship pain, loss, and patterns that come from attachment wounds.
Josephine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to test different methods and choose what fits their goals and preferences. That trial-and-adjust approach means therapy can change as issues and needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around study, work and travel, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use approaches such as CBT worksheets, values-based exercises from ACT, and emotion-focused tasks without needing to be in the same room. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can adapt tools and exercises so sessions remain practical and focused on everyday improvements.
