About Saumu
Saumu Masha-Charo is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Saumu aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person she meets. Her practice focuses on practical support for coping with life changes. She helps people manage feelings of isolation, guilt and shame and the search for life purpose.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve talking through recent events and identifying small steps to feel better. Saumu also supports people working on forgiveness and building self-love. She uses an individualised approach rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
That means the work is shaped by the person’s goals, pace and preferences. People can expect a calm, respectful space to speak about difficult experiences. Saumu aims to help clients notice patterns and practice new ways of coping.
She encourages honest conversation and realistic goals. Her background and methods are aimed at steady, practical progress. Over time she helps clients build tools to manage mood, anxiety and stressful life events.
Saumu welcomes conversations in English and Swahili for people in the UK and internationally.

Focus areas and approaches
What Saumu works with
Everything Saumu lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Another common approach centres on processing difficult experiences and reducing the impact of trauma and abuse. It involves pacing conversations, naming painful memories, and practising grounding strategies to regain a sense of control. This method helps people feel steadier when memories or strong emotions arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. She will work collaboratively to decide which techniques best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins and people who prefer time to write. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life.
