Sama Koroma, BACP

Sama Koroma is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and midlife transitions. He also helps with relationship worries, parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Sama aims to create a calm space so people can talk honestly about what feels hard right now.

With 15 years of experience, Sama uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style. He listens first and then works with each person to find practical steps that fit their life. Conversations can focus on understanding patterns, improving communication, or making decisions that feel more aligned with personal values.

Sama draws on a mix of approaches to guide his work. He uses client-centred ways of listening, emotionally-focused ideas to look at close relationships, and psychodynamic and existential themes to consider deeper patterns and meaning. These approaches are used to help people understand what’s driving their difficulties and what might change.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented when that suits someone, and more reflective when people want to probe deeper. Sama offers a respectful, warm presence and encourages small, practical experiments between sessions so progress can be noticed.

He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential. If a person is considering therapy, Sama asks them to think about what they most want to address so the first meetings can be focused and useful.

How Sama’s approaches work online

Sama commonly blends client-centred work with emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas to help people online. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, which helps when someone feels unsure or stuck. Emotionally-focused ideas focus on how feelings show up in close relationships and can be useful for improving connection and resolving recurring conflicts. Psychodynamic themes look at repeating patterns and early influences to make sense of persistent struggles and unhelpful reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to agree which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can be reviewed as therapy develops so the approach can change if something else seems more helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose a setting that feels calm and quiet for them and make it simpler to balance sessions around work or family commitments.
