About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, sleep problems, grief and life changes. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and listens without judgement. Sandra uses a conversational style to help people find clearer ways forward. She speaks English and Twi and is based in the United Kingdom.
Sandra trained in 2005 and holds NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She has around ten years of experience supporting people through issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and caring for someone with an illness.
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred practice, so sessions begin with the person’s priorities rather than a fixed plan. She blends that with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful, and draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Sandra adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. She aims to be genuine, warm and non-judgemental while helping clients develop coping tools and clearer perspectives. Topics she has worked with include addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar and issues around ageing and caregiving.
People who choose Sandra often want a calm space to talk things through and try small, manageable changes. To start, clients use the platform’s matching steps and schedule sessions that suit their needs.
How Sandra’s approaches work in online counselling
Sandra uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core tools. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s lead, which helps people feel heard and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple strategies to change patterns that keep problems like anxiety and poor sleep going.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - she helps people test what fits and adjusts the plan as things evolve.
Session practicalities should be checked before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Sandra about how to structure appointments so they fit around work, caregiving or other daily routines.
