He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns and those questioning identity or facing body image and parenting pressures.

How Sama works
With 15 years of experience, Sama has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue and eating difficulties. He also addresses family of origin problems, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics and separation or divorce worries.
His practice draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience first, emotionally focused methods that look at patterns in relationships, and psychodynamic and existential ideas that help uncover repeated life patterns and personal meaning. These approaches are used flexibly to suit each person’s needs.
Sessions take practical form - talking, reflecting and testing new ways of relating to feelings and others. Sama aims to help people gain clearer perspective, stronger coping skills and more confidence to make choices that feel right for them.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Sama uses client-centred work which puts the person's experience at the heart of therapy. That approach means sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting what matters and helping people make choices that match their values. It suits worries like low self-esteem, stress and career uncertainty.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at how emotions and interaction patterns affect close relationships. EFT-style work helps people understand recurring relationship dynamics and practise new ways of connecting and expressing needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Sama will work together with each person to decide which methods feel helpful, adapting them as goals and needs become clearer. The process is collaborative and responsive rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or busy schedules. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or daily life while still working through emotions and relationships with a registered or accredited professional.
