About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. She also offers help for relationship and parenting concerns and for people dealing with addiction, trauma, or low self-esteem.
Sandra uses a person-centred way of working. She does not come in with fixed answers. Instead she listens, asks practical questions and follows what the client brings to sessions. That approach is blended with elements from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ways of working when they help to make sense of patterns or to try new coping steps.
People choosing Sandra can expect straightforward conversations about what feels most urgent. She breaks concerns into clear steps and looks for small, doable changes. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, reflecting on past patterns, or setting short-term goals to reduce stress and improve relationships.
Sandra has experience supporting people through grief, caring responsibilities, adoption and attachment questions, blended family issues and the strain of life transitions. She also works with those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress and eating or sleeping difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and Twi, and she accepts clients from outside the UK. Practical details such as cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sandra’s therapeutic approaches work online
Sandra draws on person-centred work which focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. This approach helps people who need a non-directive space to talk through feelings and decide their own next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to try practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and for managing stress with step-by-step actions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a clear plan fits the client’s needs. That process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting appointments around work or caring duties and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to maintain continuity of support while managing everyday routines.
