About Masamba
Masamba Juster is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with ten years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. She also supports concerns around parenting, relationships, intimacy, addiction and sleep or eating difficulties.
Masamba uses a mix of practical talking methods. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at patterns in close relationships that cause pain.
Sessions are conversational and focused on problems that matter at home. She encourages clear steps you can try between sessions, and she reviews what helps and what doesn’t. The emphasis is on small, workable changes rather than long lectures.
She has supported people with a wide range of concerns across ten years of practice, including long-term caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, ADHD, abandonment and blended family tensions. Masamba also works with those facing chronic illness, cancer, ageing and grief related to loss.
To begin, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Masamba accepts clients in English and is available to work with international clients through the service.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for making practical changes in daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear exercises to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help people understand and change repeated reactions that cause conflict or distance.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work collaboratively to see which methods suit your goals and preferences and will adapt the way she works as you go. That means checking in about what helps and trying different techniques when needed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are set by the service. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches use written exercises or recorded mindfulness practice to work between sessions, which can slot into everyday life. Registered and accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and choose a plan that fits your routine.
