About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common life stresses and emotional struggles. Her practice notes stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem among the concerns she supports.
Sarah focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than clinical jargon. Sessions are a chance to talk through what feels hard, build small coping steps, and test different ways of responding to tough situations. She uses straightforward tools aimed at everyday problems like sleep disruption, low motivation and feeling overwhelmed.
Her approach draws on clients' own goals. She adapts the pace depending on whether someone needs short-term help to manage a crisis or ongoing support for deeper issues. Sarah also pays attention to cultural and immigration concerns and to the particular pressures young adults often face as they start independent life.
People meet her for help with relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief after loss, or the felt emptiness that follows big life changes. She also works with issues such as addiction patterns, attachment questions, and coping with chronic illness or disability.
Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Early meetings focus on what the person hopes to change and on small, doable steps. Over time the work can include looking at thought patterns, building new habits, and practising different ways of relating to others.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings, clarify values or find motivation for small changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and persistent worry.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust the plan over time. This might mean leaning more on conversation and reflection at first, then introducing CBT exercises when someone is ready to practise new patterns.
Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity after moving or changing jobs. If you plan to work remotely, check which session formats are offered before booking so the practical details match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of working online, and Sarah will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit around study, work and other daily commitments.
