About Sama

Sama Koroma helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing career changes, grief, addiction and trauma. People come to him for issues around intimacy, family concerns, parenting strain and relationship difficulties.

He brings 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Sama offers a warm, collaborative style and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He focuses on what a person wants to change and looks for steps that can be tried between meetings.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Sama draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters most. He also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people notice and work with the feelings that sit behind conflict and distress.

His work is influenced by psychodynamic and existential ideas as well. These approaches are used to explore recurring patterns, attachment concerns and questions of meaning. The emphasis is on making sense of past experiences and how they affect present choices.

People who prefer a direct, respectful conversation may find his way of working helpful. Sama aims to balance exploring emotions with practical coping strategies. He invites clients to set clear goals and to review progress as therapy continues.

How Sama’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sama works from a client-centred stance, which means sessions start with listening closely to what matters to you and shaping sessions around your goals. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and decision-making by keeping the focus on your perspective and needs.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people identify, name and work with strong emotions that fuel conflict or withdrawal. EFT-style work can be useful for anyone wanting clearer emotional connection and better ways to respond to difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sama will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative choice and can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from different locations. If needed, sessions can be adapted to shorter check-ins, fewer visual demands or a focus on practical coping tools so therapy slots better align with everyday life.
