Sama Koroma, BACP

Sama commonly uses client-centred work to focus on each person’s experience. This approach means sessions centre on listening and following what the client brings, helping them to feel understood and to find their own solutions.

He also uses emotionally focused ideas to look at patterns in important relationships and how emotions drive interaction. This can help when relationship strain, attachment issues or intimacy concerns are causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sama will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that suit their needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use verbal and non-verbal cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier if internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and those who prefer to write rather than speak.

These options aim to make therapy more accessible and to fit around work, family or other commitments while keeping the therapeutic goals clear and practical.
