About Sama

Sama Koroma is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles and relationship concerns including jealousy. He supports those coping with life changes, career uncertainty, grief, trauma and addiction. Sama aims to make the first step less daunting and to offer steady, practical support along the way.

Sama works in a warm, collaborative manner. He creates a calm space to talk through what is causing distress and to identify realistic next steps. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, improving communication, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

His practice draws on several therapeutic approaches. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person in front of him. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with close relationships and understanding emotional bonds. Psychodynamic and existential ideas are used to uncover patterns that repeat over time and to clarify life priorities.

Over 15 years of practice, Sama has supported people with a wide range of concerns such as eating issues, parenting stress, codependency, attachment and intimacy-related problems. He also works with people living with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and with neurodiverse concerns like ADHD.

How Sama's approaches work online

Sama uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help people make sense of their choices and feelings. It suits people who need space to be heard and to build confidence at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and aims to improve how people connect and respond to one another; it can be helpful for jealousy, intimacy issues and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sama works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He will check in about what is working and adjust the approach as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.
