About Sama
Sama Koroma is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career pressure, life changes, addictions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and codependency. He also supports those facing parenting stress, body image struggles, and issues linked to family of origin and attachment.
Sama keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. He uses talking therapies that aim to clarify patterns and feelings. Conversations look at how past experiences shape current choices, and practical steps are discussed to make small changes in day-to-day life.
His style draws on client-centred work to follow what the person brings, emotionally focused ideas to look at relationship and attachment themes, and psychodynamic thinking to consider deeper patterns. Sessions mix reflection about feelings with simple techniques to manage stress and increase self-awareness.
People meet to name what is causing strain, try out new ways of setting boundaries, and work on rebuilding a sense of self separate from other people’s needs. Sama often helps with codependency-related patterns such as chronic people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and anxiety around closeness.
He offers practical guidance alongside time to talk through difficult memories and current pressures. Sama is used to working with complex material and supporting steady steps forward. If you want to see how conversations could help, the next step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Sama draws on client-centred work to follow what a person brings. That approach focuses on reflective listening and helping someone name their feelings, which suits conversations about people-pleasing or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and relational patterns, and can help when closeness, abandonment fears or intimacy issues cause distress. These methods together aim to connect present feelings with patterns from earlier relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sama treats it as a collaborative decision based on the client's goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to agree on focus, try out ways of working, and make adjustments as needed so the therapy fits the person's needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt their methods so conversations remain practical and relevant when they occur remotely.
