About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to make the first steps less daunting by offering calm, steady support and a straightforward way to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are aimed at practical change as well as emotional relief.
Her approach is collaborative and client-led. That means she listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
She keeps language simple and focuses on actions people can try between sessions. Sarah uses client-centred methods to ensure conversations stay focused on what matters to the individual. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find small, useful changes.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, addictions and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues linked to migration and culture. Sessions can suit people facing chronic illness or pain, postpartum low mood, or those feeling empty or disconnected.
The work often mixes emotional exploration with practical coping strategies. Sarah aims to help people build more steady routines and clearer thinking around their challenges.

Approaches Sarah 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
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Sessions use simple exercises and practical tasks to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression and motivation problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on the person’s goals and preferences. The choice of method can change as progress is made and needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
