About Sama
Sama Koroma is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions and big life changes. His work also covers relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction concerns, and longer-standing difficulties such as trauma and family of origin problems.
Sama uses a conversational, person-focused approach. Sessions are practical and direct. He listens, helps clarify what matters most, and works with clients to try different ways of coping. He draws on Client-Centred ideas to prioritise the person’s experience and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to emotional patterns in relationships.
He also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships can shape current feelings and choices. Existential perspectives are part of his practice too, helping people face questions about meaning, commitment and identity. Together these approaches are used to understand problems rather than to label them.
Sama has worked across a range of concerns for 15 years. He supports people affected by abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and codependency issues. He also helps with parenting strains, blended family challenges and fatherhood questions.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people follow the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online options button.
How Sama’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and recognising each person’s experience. Online sessions using this approach typically involve open conversation and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to relationship patterns and strong emotions. Online work with EFT can help people identify recurring interaction styles and practise different ways of responding in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sama will discuss how these methods might fit the issues you bring. He will help you and him decide together which ideas to use depending on your goals, preferences and what shows up in early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or other busy days. They can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, and let people keep appointments across different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pacing and focus of sessions to suit a young adult’s schedule and needs.
