About Sandra
Counsellor and NCPS member Sandra Ankrah has worked in the United Kingdom for about 10 years. She offers help for common problems such as grief, loss, self-esteem, parenting and relationship difficulties, and for life changes like sudden illness or carer stress. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and she accepts international clients.
Sandra uses a person-centred foundation in her work. That means she does not present herself as the expert who will fix everything. Instead she listens without judgement and uses her skills to support people as they talk through what matters to them. Conversations focus on the client’s priorities rather than a therapist’s assumptions.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. That can help with stress, anxiety and low mood by identifying small, practical steps a person can try between sessions. Solution-focused elements are used when people want short-term planning and clear next steps.
Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at how past experience affects present feelings and relationships. Sandra says this can be useful for longer-standing patterns such as attachment worries or recurring relationship problems. Her work aims to be direct and practical, while still allowing time to reflect on deeper issues.
Sessions follow the client’s concerns and goals. Sandra adapts how she talks and plans work to fit each person she meets. To begin, clients use the site matching process to book an initial session and explain what they want to address.
How Sandra uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Sandra works from a person-centred base. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about, with the counsellor listening and responding without judgement. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by identifying small, practical changes to try between sessions. Solution-focused methods are used when clients prefer short-term planning and clear steps to move forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss options with the client and agree on what to try based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and may change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring duties, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits helpful when arranging appointments.
