About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and changes in family or parenting roles. Sessions are conducted in English and Twi and she accepts international clients.
Sandra uses a person-centred way of working that places the client's own goals first. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Her approach combines that listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused steps when useful.
Many people come to her for help with parenting strain, relationship worries, grief and life transitions. She also works with anxiety, addiction concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem problems. Sandra has experience supporting people caring for others and those facing sudden illness in the family.
In sessions she draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that still affect daily life. She uses short, goal-based strategies when clients want concrete change quickly. Conversations are guided by the client’s aims, with flexible pacing and practical suggestions where helpful.
Sandra’s NCPS registration is noted as part of her professional background. People who value a straightforward, listening approach with practical options may find her style useful. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the client’s own goals. It involves reflective conversations that help a person identify what they want to change and how to take steps toward it. This approach suits people who need steady, respectful listening as they sort out family or parenting pressures.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It commonly helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating difficulties and stress linked to caring roles or relationship tensions.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that come from past experiences and how they show up now. This can help if recurring relationship dynamics or attachment questions keep repeating in everyday life.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. Clients can expect to try different ways of working until a useful fit is found.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking.
