Her Story

Emike Oyemade is a counsellor, therapist, author, speaker, publisher and social impact advocate with over a decade of experience in mental health, relationships, family development, adolescent wellbeing and personal development.

She holds a degree in Mass Communication and a Master’s in Print and Publishing, alongside professional training across counselling, grief, addiction, marriage and family therapy, pastoral care, and child and adolescent mental health. This blend of communication expertise and clinical training shapes how she works — translating complex emotional and relational challenges into language people can actually act on, whether in a counselling session, on a stage, or in the pages of a book.

She also serves as Convenor of the ARISE Teens Network, promoting mentorship, leadership and mental health awareness among young people.

Her Journey

How the work took shape

Mass Communication & Print and Publishing

Built a foundation in communication and publishing — the skills that would later shape how she writes, speaks and translates counselling insight into plain language.

Counselling, grief, addiction & family therapy

Pursued professional training across counselling, grief, addiction, marriage and family therapy, pastoral care, and child & adolescent mental health.

Founded Jotham Publishing

Started publishing books on courtship, marriage and relationships — now a catalogue of 20+ titles, sold directly and picked up in Yaba, Lagos.

Founded Wise Walk Foundation

Launched a youth-focused nonprofit now running 12 programmes across schools and communities — from addiction prevention to girls’ empowerment.

Counsellor, speaker & convenor

Continues to counsel, speak and publish, while convening the ARISE Teens Network and leading Wise Walk Foundation’s school and community work.

“I don’t just want to counsel people through a hard season. I want to help them build a life — through the words they hear, the books they read, and the communities that hold them up.”
— Emike Oyemade
