Certified Relationship Therapist, Entrepreneur, Writer & Tech Founder
I'm Ukeme Johnny, known as Johnnywriter, a certified relationship therapist, entrepreneur, and writer based in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. My journey began in Etinan, Akwa Ibom State, where I was raised as the only son in a family of four children by my resilient mother.
Growing up without the presence of a loving marital relationship deeply shaped my emotional intelligence, empathy, and passion for helping others. My personal experiences with depression, trauma, and emotional challenges became the foundation for my mission to help others heal and thrive.

Find answers to common questions about therapy, coaching, and my approach
I offer a range of therapy services including individual relationship counseling, couples therapy, emotional healing sessions, trauma recovery support, and addiction recovery coaching. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with faith principles to provide holistic healing and growth.
Sessions can be conducted in-person at my Asaba office or virtually via secure video conferencing. Each session typically lasts 60-90 minutes. We begin with an initial assessment to understand your specific challenges and goals, then develop a personalized treatment plan. Regular sessions help you develop insights, learn practical coping strategies, and work toward lasting change.
My approach integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I believe in addressing both the immediate relationship challenges and the deeper emotional patterns that influence them. My therapy focuses on developing emotional intelligence, effective communication, healthy boundaries, and authentic connection.
Consider seeking therapy if you're experiencing persistent emotional distress, relationship difficulties, or find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns. Signs that therapy might be beneficial include prolonged sadness or anxiety, relationship conflicts, difficulty managing emotions, sleep disturbances, or feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. Therapy can also be valuable for personal growth and developing healthier relationship skills, even when not in crisis.
The duration of therapy varies based on individual needs, the complexity of the issues, and your personal goals. Some clients experience significant improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust our approach as needed. My goal is to help you develop the insights and skills you need for lasting change, not to create dependency.
