About Masamba
Counsellor and BACP member Masamba Juster has 10 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, loss and depression. Sessions also cover relationship and family concerns, addiction, ADHD and other day-to-day struggles.
Masamba uses a mix of practical talking approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice what matters and change patterns that cause distress. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how relationships and early experiences shape feelings and behaviour.
In sessions she follows a client-centred style. That means listening first, checking what matters to the person, and shaping conversations around those priorities. Work may include noticing thoughts and feelings, testing new ways of responding, and practising small changes between meetings.
Her background includes ten years helping people through bereavement, addiction and long-term stress. This includes practical support for sleep, eating and anger problems, and help with parenting strain and career worries. Masamba also lists additional focus on areas such as adoption and foster care, chronic health issues, body image and communication problems.
People can expect straightforward, short-term work or longer discussions depending on needs. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accepted. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online counselling options.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress and problems that recur over time.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavioural experiments to shift unhelpful patterns and can help with depression, sleep and worry.
Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas are used to understand how past relationships shape current responses. These approaches help when relationship patterns, intimacy or long-standing attachment concerns are part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps. The process is collaborative, with regular reviews so the plan can change as progress is made.
