About Sama
Sama Koroma is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career strain, parenting pressures and the fallout from major life changes. Sama also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and a range of family-related problems.
Sama uses a conversational, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. He listens for patterns from a person’s past and how those patterns show up in everyday life. Practical steps and small experiments often form part of the work alongside deeper reflection.
His background includes psychodynamic ideas about how early relationships shape current feelings. He also draws on emotionally-focused approaches to help people name and express important emotions. Existential themes are used when clients want to look at meaning, responsibility and choices in their life.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded. People can expect clear reflections, questions to try at home, and time to work through difficult decisions. Sama speaks English and accepts international clients; fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The initial contact is used to clarify goals and agree how to work together going forward.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening, reflective questions and helping someone clarify their own priorities. This approach can help with stress, low self-esteem and everyday parenting strain.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming important feelings, and on how those feelings affect close relationships. It can be useful for people wanting to understand emotional patterns that affect intimacy and family connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sama will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client which methods suit their goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day and to join from a quieter location without travel. Some formats use less bandwidth and can be shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions help people maintain continuity of care across locations.
