Sana Khwaja offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, stressed or overwhelmed. She focuses on clear, short-term goals and gentle exploration so conversations stay useful and relevant. Sana aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things and to find small steps that help day-to-day life.

She practises client-centred therapy, which means she follows each person's pace and priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. She also draws on existential ideas to help people make sense of big life questions and find personal meaning amid change.

Background and approach

Together these approaches are used to address anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship worries. Sana has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Her background includes supporting people with addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related issues and parenting stress.

She also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and a range of relationship challenges. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Sana listens for what matters most and helps people try out different ways of coping.

She works with matters such as intimacy-related issues, communication problems, midlife shifts and fertility or postpartum concerns. People who prefer open, non-judgemental conversation often find her style approachable. She aims to help clients build clearer choices and small, realistic changes.

For anyone facing life transitions or lasting worry, she offers steady support and straightforward tools to move forward.

How Sana's approaches work online

Sana uses client-centred therapy to place the person's priorities at the centre of each session. That means conversations follow what feels most important to the client, and the pace is set by them. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and everyday coping.

She also draws on existential therapy to help people reflect on meaning, values and life choices. That can be useful for those facing major transitions, identity questions or persistent uncertainty. The focus is on understanding personal values and making decisions that feel authentic.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sana will discuss different ways of working and tailor sessions to your goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative, checking in about what helps and adjusting the way she works as you progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks, while live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
