Sama Koroma, BACP

Sama Koroma is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. He supports clients facing relationship difficulties, parenting strains, career uncertainty, addiction concerns and grief. He also works with issues such as trauma, eating concerns, bipolar mood swings and ADHD. Sama practises in English and accepts international clients.

He favours a warm and collaborative style. Sessions aim to be a straightforward place to talk without judgement. Sama listens for patterns in thoughts and everyday habits and helps people spot small, practical ways to change them. The focus is on what matters most to each person rather than fitting someone to a model.

Sama draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions centred on the person's experience. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at feelings in relationships, and psychodynamic and existential perspectives to trace how past patterns and life's meaning shape present choices. These approaches are used to make sense of repeating struggles and to open up options for change.

In sessions Sama offers practical tools alongside reflective conversation. He helps people build coping strategies, improve communication, and clarify goals for work and life. His work often includes attending to attachment and abandonment themes, body image, and family of origin issues.

He is registered with the BACP, which is listed as a professional credential. To begin, clients follow the Start Therapy process on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Sama’s approaches translate to online counselling

Sama works from approaches that pay attention to feelings, relationships and life meaning. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings, helping people feel heard and understood before deciding on next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in close relationships, helping people identify patterns in how they connect and respond to others. Psychodynamic and existential ideas are used to look at long-standing patterns and the personal meaning behind choices, which can help explain repeating difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sama treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together the client and therapist adapt methods and pace to match needs and priorities.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the original biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make regular work on thinking patterns and everyday habits more practical. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to keep momentum between sessions and to tailor therapy around someone’s life.
