About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, grief, relationship strain and depression. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style and listens first to understand what matters to each person. Sessions are aimed at practical forward steps that fit a client’s life and values.
Sandra qualified in 2005 and holds NCPS accreditation. She draws on person-centred ways of working, which means she does not arrive with fixed answers. Instead she works alongside people and tailors conversations to their needs.
Background and approach
Over ten years of practice have given her experience with grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, parenting challenges and relationship issues. She also supports people managing sudden illness, caregiving strain and broader life changes. Sandra pays close attention to sensitivity and respect in every meeting.
Her approach mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods and focused problem-solving. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. The result is a flexible plan that aims to suit each person’s goals.
Sandra speaks English and Twi and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She encourages a pace that feels safe and manageable, and she adapts conversations so they remain relevant to daily life.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps such as identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. It can help with depression, anxiety, sleep and coping strategies by giving clear actions to try between sessions.
Sandra will work with you to find the approach that fits best. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan as you progress, so therapy stays aligned with your needs and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give face-to-face contact when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker way to check in. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions or people who prefer not to use video. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
