Sandra Ankrah welcomes people seeking calm and clearer thinking in times of change. She is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. Sandra listens without judgement and aims to help people feel understood and steadier as they talk through difficult moments.

Sandra uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s goals in focus. She listens carefully and helps people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. <brHer background includes supporting people through grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship strain and parenting concerns. She has helped those coping with sudden illness, caring responsibilities and other major life changes.

Sandra’s approach is warm and respectful and she will adapt conversations to match each person’s needs. Sandra holds NCPS as her stated credential and follows that organisation’s standards. She offers sessions in English and Twi and accepts international clients, working to make therapy accessible across borders.

Practical arrangements such as session format and scheduling are discussed at the start. Beginning therapy is a step-by-step process. Sandra will help set goals, try approaches that fit the person, and review progress together.

She aims to make each session feel manageable and focused on what matters most to the client.

How Sandra’s approaches work online

Person-centred therapy puts the person’s own goals at the centre of conversation. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring feelings like grief or low self-esteem, and deciding what to change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT can help with anxiety, mood issues, sleep and coping with change.

Finding the right approach happens together. Sandra will discuss needs, preferences and goals, then suggest ways of working that fit the person. She regularly reviews progress and adapts the plan if something isn’t helping, so the client stays involved in decisions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexible options for different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing reflection between sessions and can suit a busy schedule. These formats make therapy more accessible across locations and time zones, while still enabling focused, goal-oriented work.
