Juliana Olayode, widely recognised for her breakout role as “Toyo Baby” in popular Nigerian television series, has achieved a major milestone in her personal and professional journey after becoming a certified therapist and counsellor.
The actress and media personality shared the news with her followers on Instagram, expressing deep joy and gratitude as she announced her new qualification.
According to her, counselling has always been something she naturally connects with, as she finds fulfilment in listening to people, understanding their struggles, and guiding them toward emotional healing.
Juliana explained that her decision to formally pursue therapy was not random, but born out of a strong inner desire to help people who may appear fine on the outside but are silently battling emotional or psychological pain.
She noted that many individuals struggle in silence, smiling in public while carrying deep personal wounds, and she hopes to be part of the solution to that hidden pain.
In her heartfelt message, she revealed that her journey into therapy was also shaped by her own experiences. According to her, she has gone through painful and traumatic phases in life that gave her a deeper understanding of emotional suffering.
These personal battles, she said, helped her relate more closely with people going through similar struggles and strengthened her passion for healing others.
However, she made it clear that personal experience alone was not enough. This pushed her to seek formal education and proper training in counselling and therapy.
She explained that she wanted to be equipped with the right tools, knowledge, and professional guidance needed to effectively support people on their healing journey.
Juliana described the learning process as challenging and demanding, especially as she had to balance her studies with her career and other responsibilities. There were moments she admitted feeling overwhelmed and close to giving up, but she credited her perseverance and faith for helping her push through the difficult periods.
She also expressed gratitude to her family, mentors, pastors, tutors, and classmates who supported her throughout the journey.
She specifically mentioned individuals who encouraged her emotionally and spiritually, noting that their support played a significant role in her success.
Interestingly, she added that while learning how to help others heal, she also experienced personal healing along the way.
The process, she said, was not just academic but also transformative, shaping her emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Celebrating her achievement, Juliana described the milestone as the beginning of a new chapter in her life. She expressed excitement about now being able to serve people professionally as a therapist and counsellor, combining her faith and training to support those in need.
She concluded her announcement by reintroducing herself with pride, listing her various roles as an actress, producer, speaker, author, and now a certified therapist and counsellor, while giving credit to her faith for guiding her journey.
Her announcement has since been met with congratulations from fans and colleagues who applauded her for expanding her impact beyond the entertainment industry into mental health and emotional wellness.
