About Masamba

Masamba Juster is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and anger. She also helps people facing life changes, relationship and intimacy challenges, addictions, ADHD, and issues around sleep and eating.

Her approach draws on a mix of practical therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and choose values-based actions. Attachment-based work and emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships and connection are central concerns.

Sessions focus on honest conversation and clear steps. She listens to how a person's day-to-day life is affected, and then works with them to try different strategies. That can mean learning new ways to respond when anger flares, or testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Masamba pays attention to background factors such as abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and body image. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue and commitment worries. Work on these areas usually combines talking, behavioural experiments and recent evidence-informed techniques.

People who choose her often want practical help they can apply between sessions. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and book a first appointment. International clients may be accepted; confirm session arrangements before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that is tied to avoidance or getting trapped in unhelpful reactions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to test beliefs and change responses, which can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connection affects present behaviour. This can be helpful when anger is linked to relationship hurt, abandonment or intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That recommendation is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about specific session lengths and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
