About Sana
Counsellor Sana Khwaja is a member of the BACP and has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those facing parenting-related stress and people dealing with trauma and abuse.
Sana uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person and their experience. She listens to what matters to each individual and reflects that back in clear, everyday language. Her work also draws on Existential Therapy, which looks at personal meaning, choices and how people respond to life changes.
In sessions she aims to make time for practical talk as well as emotional reflection. That might mean talking through current problems, testing out different ways to manage stress, or reflecting on how past experiences affect present choices. Her approach keeps to straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon.
She has worked with issues linked to family life such as blended family problems, adoption and foster care, and communication difficulties. She also has experience with gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, infertility and postpartum depression.
Sana accepts clients across the UK and is comfortable working with people from multicultural backgrounds. Sessions are conducted in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what she hears, helping people clarify feelings and make choices. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulty and coping with life changes.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and how people respond to limits or life transitions. It encourages people to notice the choices available to them and to consider how they want to live. This can be useful for midlife questions, grief, identity concerns and big life decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sana will discuss different methods and help decide what fits a person's needs and goals. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as the work progresses.
