About Sama
Counsellor Sama Koroma is a BACP member with 15 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, career worries and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Sama uses straightforward, conversational sessions. He listens, reflects and asks practical questions to help people make sense of their situation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past patterns may shape current feelings and choices.
His work draws on client-centred ideas that keep the person central to the therapy. He also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how early relationships influence present behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used where emotions and attachment patterns are a focus.
Sama pays attention to everyday problems such as parenting strains, blended family issues, communication difficulties and work stress. He will also talk through concerns like body image, codependency, anger and feelings of emptiness. Where relevant, he considers how issues such as ADHD or bipolar mood difficulties affect daily life.
Sessions are practical and direct. People can expect short-term goals alongside longer exploration when needed. Sama works in English and accepts international clients; anyone considering sessions should confirm the current session options before booking.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help them find their own solutions; this can suit people wanting a steady, listening approach.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name and work with strong feelings and patterns in close relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and communication concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sama will talk with each person about their needs and goals and agree together what to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins, or sessions without video if that helps with concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to help clients balance therapy with family life or work commitments.
