“Another degree in the bag 💼

Counselling people has always come naturally to me. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing people heal, grow, and experience real transformation.

My desire to become a therapist was born from a deep longing to see people whole again. I have walked through painful and traumatic seasons, so I understand what pain looks like. I know what it means to smile while hurting, to carry heartache through sleepless nights, and to bear wounds so deep they touch every part of your life.

Because of that, I knew I wanted more than personal experience or knowledge from books. I wanted the right training, wisdom, and tools to help people heal truly. For a long time, it stayed as a desire in my heart until I became certain it was the path God wanted for me.

Today, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to God because I can now officially call myself a professional therapist and counsellor.

The journey was not easy. There were moments I almost gave up because of how demanding it was, trying to balance it with work and other responsibilities. But God carried me through.

I’m grateful to my family, who encouraged, supported, prayed for me, and stood by me.
I’m very grateful for the gift of a Father and Pastor like PN @nathanielblow, grateful for Tosin @qute_tosyn, Mummy V @veronicafolorunsho, Counsellor Irene, all our tutors, and my classmates, who cheered me on. Through this journey, I learned, unlearned, and grew in so many ways. Interestingly, while learning to help others heal, I found myself healing again.

It was stretching, enlightening, beautiful, and truly life-changing.

I’m so excited for this new chapter and honoured to now serve people as a professional therapist and counsellor. Even more special, I get to do it with God, the ultimate Counselor, Therapist, and Healer.

So please allow me to reintroduce myself:

I am Juliana Olayode, a professional therapist and counsellor, executive producer, producer, actor, author, speaker, influencer, purity advocate, and most importantly, God’s favourite baby.

None of this would be possible without my Father, Oranmonisefayati”.

Celebrating with her, Kate Henshaw wrote, “Congratulations, Juliana

Commanding her fans and followers to put some respect for her name, she stated that her journey to getting her certificate wasn’t easy as she had to combine it with pregnancy and motherhood.
