Masamba Juster, BACP

Masamba Juster is a counsellor who uses a practical, person-centred style to help people navigate difficult life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and brings ten years of professional experience to sessions. Her approach aims to make conversations straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual.

She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma and supports people facing addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Midlife crisis is one of the named areas she addresses, along with sleep and eating difficulties and challenges around parenting and career change.

Her practice combines several therapeutic approaches. Masamba draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas to build a trusting space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed agenda. Masamba aims to listen without judgement, reflect what she hears, and work with clients to agree practical next steps. This can include simple skills to reduce day-to-day stress and longer conversations about values and priorities.

People who choose her often want clear, down-to-earth help with life transitions, relationship difficulties, or long-standing emotional struggles. She encourages straightforward goals and small changes that fit into everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Masamba uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred methods to structure conversations online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and supports choosing actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people explore emotional needs and connection. Client-Centred work prioritises the person’s perspective, offering a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Masamba will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep appointments while abroad or juggling work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, will usually discuss practical arrangements and how to structure sessions to fit everyday life.
