Qualifications and Previous Experience

Treating individuals with genuine psychological challenges, behavioural issues and severe debilitating anxiety is not something we take complacently, at Golden Joy Counselling. I am Justine Harris-Samson, owner/therapist at Golden Joy Counselling. I have succeeded in helping many unfortunate souls who needed assistance in learning to control their psychological obstacles.

I have amassed a wealth of experience owing to my certifications in:-

1. Advanced Counselling diploma with distinction, The Blackford Centre for Counselling, in Blackford (2012)
2. MBACP- (2012)
3. BA Hons Sociology & Psychology (2.1), University of East London, (1994-1997)
4. Welfare & Management diploma, Transatlantic College, Shoreditch.

One of the most significant milestone achievements of Golden Joy Counselling that I am proud of is busting the popular misconception that anyone without a training can be a therapist and psychological counselling. I am proud of the differences I have made in people’s lives, proving the importance of professionally certified psych-therapy. I worked my heart and soul in making Golden Joy Counselling the successful enterprise it is today, but I also feel an urge of duty in improving lives with my set of skills.

As a proud owner and sole therapist at Golden Joy Counselling, I boast of success because I wish to help out every troubled soul who walks into my chambers. Even with all the personal agony that is shared within the walls, confessed and accepted by my patients, I try to maintain a degree of positivity in Golden Joy’s premises. What I wish to imbibe on patients is that the importance of the human spectrum of emotion. I have had patients walk in with severe degrees of psychological challenges and behavioural issues, all stemming from a wide range of adverse scenarios. But, none have been a challenge for me. With a mixed bag of advice, motivation, support, genuine-care and guidance Golden Joy Counselling helped many to find the state of mental wellbeing.

Golden Joy Counselling is not only a centre for dealing with personal psychological challenges or anger management in West Sussex. I also assist individuals, and couples with resolving conflicts in relationships, mitigating disasters for broken relationships too. For me, reading a patient’s emotions, nervous ticks, thought patterns, etc. has become as easy as knowing the back of my hand.​​
