About Sama

Sama Koroma is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and parenting challenges. Sama draws on 15 years of experience to offer steady, practical help when life feels overwhelming.

His style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are intended as a space to talk without judgement and to work out small, useful steps forward. He listens for the patterns behind worries and helps people try different ways of coping in everyday life.

In practice Sama uses client‑centred ideas to keep the conversation focused on each person’s experience. He also integrates emotionally focused and psychodynamic perspectives to look at feelings, attachment and the stories people tell about themselves. These approaches shape how he explores relationship patterns, abandonment and family of origin issues.

People who come to Sama often want help with self‑confidence, communication problems, body image, or managing mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. He pays attention to practical goals like handling work stress, improving boundaries, and rebuilding after separation or loss.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal‑oriented while still making room for reflection. Sama asks questions, reflects feelings, and suggests small experiments to try between meetings. If you decide to begin, he will work with you to set clear steps that fit your life.

How Sama’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sama blends client‑centred work with emotionally focused and psychodynamic views to help people understand feelings and relationship patterns. Client‑centred therapy concentrates on the person's experience in the room and aims to create a supportive, non‑judgemental space for talking. Emotionally focused work helps identify and name emotions that affect relationships and intimacy. Psychodynamic perspectives look at repeating patterns and attachment history to understand current struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sama works collaboratively to learn about each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and then suggests which methods to try. He encourages an open conversation about what feels most helpful and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check‑in sessions when needed. It also lets some people use different ways of communicating while they try out new coping strategies in their day‑to‑day life.
