Hello! I’m Whitney
Certified Life & Mental Health Coach
Whitney Edna Ibe comes from the Eastern Part of Nigeria but grew up in Lagos. She has been in Lagos for many years and has made it her home.
After attending several schools growing up, she acquired her Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Religions. She has a certificate in ‘Talk to me’: Improving Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in Young Adults from Curtin University, Australia, and a Certificate in Sociology, Developmental, Clinical and Research Psychology from The University of Queensland, Australia.
Whitney’s experience includes a career in Implementing Cognitive Behavioral Learning, Acceptance and Commitment Learning, Dialectical Behavior Learning for a healthy mental state, One-on-One Coaching Sessions, Relationship Counseling, Career Mentoring, Psychology, and Mental Health Implementations for individuals over the years.
Her coaching and consulting experience has extended to executive levels of service. These opportunities have also grown from local to global areas of service. These experiences have taught her to always stay in a learning posture. Also, to implement changes personally and professionally to remain relevant each day.
What inspires her the most is having the opportunity to contribute to the success of others. This is why coaching, counseling, and consulting have become such a fulfilling passion for her and keep her going and growing.
My Approach & Values
As a Life and Mental Health Coach, I use solution-focused and value-based approaches. Both approaches help me make a difference in the life of my clients and everything around them.
I use the solution focus approach because it helps me guide my clients on how to identify and achieve their desired outcomes. Through this approach, I focus on their strengths, not their weaknesses, and solutions rather than problems. To determine the skills they need to achieve their set goals, provide them with all the positive reinforcement they need, and encourage them to take action and review their progress without being hard on themselves.
On the other hand, the value-based approach helps me guide my clients in clarifying and identifying their values, help them understand what motivates them, uncover resistances to change, and take action congruent with what is important to them.
