Sana Khwaja welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by life.
About Sana
Sana Khwaja welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by life. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters most. Her approach suits those facing low mood, stress, anxiety and relationship strain.
Sana is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Sana uses a client-centred style that places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. She gives space for feelings and thoughts, and reflects them back in clear, simple language.
Background and approach
This helps people feel heard and begin to make sense of what they are carrying. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility. That approach is useful when people are wrestling with life changes, identity questions or difficult decisions.
It encourages honest thinking about values and the direction someone wants life to take. With five years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sana has worked with issues such as addictions, trauma, parenting difficulties and depression. She tailors conversations to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Sessions are practical and grounded. Sana and the client agree what to focus on and decide on small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Over time those steps aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways of coping.

Approaches Sana lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also brings an existential perspective that invites people to examine meaning, values and life choices. That form of work can be helpful when someone is coping with major life changes, identity questions or a sense of emptiness and wants to think through possibilities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sana will work collaboratively to see what helps most and adapt methods to match each person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what to focus on and which format suits the work best.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
