About Sama
Sama Koroma is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting challenges. He works with people dealing with career setbacks, major life changes, grief and compassion fatigue. People also seek him out for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, eating problems, addiction and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.
Sama draws on 15 years of practice and a BACP registration to support practical change.
Background and approach
Sama keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He aims to provide a calm place to talk through what is happening now and how it connects with your past. Sessions focus on small, doable steps you can try between meetings as well as reflecting on deeper patterns when helpful.
His approach centres on listening without judgement and helping people feel understood. He uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to you and emotionally-focused techniques to address attachment and relationship concerns. He also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas to look at meaning, identity and repeated patterns.
Sama often helps people untangle family of origin issues, abandonment or attachment wounds, body image and codependency, and the strains of blended family or fatherhood roles. He supports people exploring LGBT matters and those managing ADHD-related challenges alongside other concerns. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Sama works collaboratively on goals and practical strategies so the work fits your life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Sama works from a client-centred perspective that prioritises the person's own goals and experience, helping conversations stay focused on what feels most important to you and what you want to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to map and shift patterns in close relationships and attachment, which can help when intimacy, communication or fatherhood issues cause strain. Psychodynamic ideas are offered to notice recurring life themes and early family influences that shape current reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Sama will discuss options with you and together agree which methods best match your needs, goals and preferences. He treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts the focus as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction helps, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and text-based formats are handy for shorter updates or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting and busy lives while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship.
