About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has worked in the UK for around 10 years. She supports adults through common pressures such as grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain and life changes. Sessions are run in English and Twi, and international clients can be accepted.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred methods. She does not present as an expert who fixes problems. Instead she listens, offers straightforward reflections and helps people make sense of their options. This is often useful for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and parenting strains.
Sandra also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas when helpful. With CBT she will work on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Psychodynamic perspectives are used to look at patterns from earlier relationships that still affect current choices.
She has experience supporting people coping with sudden illness, caregiving pressures and bereavement. People who struggle with career uncertainty, mood problems such as depression or bipolar tendencies, and attention difficulties may also find the pragmatic focus helpful. Sandra notes issues like attachment, body image and communication problems among her areas of work.
Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to address. The counsellor draws on solution-focused thinking to set short-term goals when that suits the client. Practical steps and clear next actions are offered alongside reflective conversation.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Her work blends Client-Centred practice with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred work focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings, helping them decide what matters and move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and choose methods together. This collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions are more reflective, more action-focused, or a mix of both.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts at work or caring responsibilities. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling across time zones and fewer travel demands, which many people find helpful when balancing early adult life.
