About Sama

Sama Koroma helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He works with clients dealing with career pressure, relationship concerns, grief, addictions and issues around identity and intimacy. Sama focuses on men's wellbeing and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for those who want change.

Sessions are based on a warm, collaborative style. Sama offers a calm space to talk about what feels stuck and to try small, doable steps that suit everyday life. He listens for patterns from the past that still affect the present and helps people make clearer choices moving forward.

His practice draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s experience at the centre. He also uses emotionally focused ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships, and psychodynamic thinking to help connect present problems with earlier life events. These methods are used to help with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, parenting strain and more.

With 15 years of experience Sama aims to balance practical coping strategies with deeper reflection. He supports people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about next steps. The focus is on finding what helps each person feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day demands.

How approaches translate to online work

Sama commonly draws on client-centred work, emotionally focused ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and understood; the counsellor follows the person’s lead to help them find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem and uncertainty about life choices. Emotionally focused approaches look at how feelings shape relationships and how emotional patterns repeat; this can help with intimacy concerns and communication problems. Psychodynamic thinking invites reflection on earlier life experiences and how they influence current behaviour, which can shed light on longstanding patterns such as attachment worries or codependency.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels helpful, try different ways of working, and adjust as needs and goals become clearer. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can change if something is not working.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow continuity if someone moves or travels, and they can be a practical way to keep seeing a therapist while juggling work and family commitments.
