About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah, NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom, has worked in counselling for 10 years. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. She also supports clients with relationship and parenting concerns and those dealing with care responsibilities.
Sandra frames her work around person-centred ideas. She does not present herself as the expert who knows what is wrong. Instead she listens, asks practical questions and reflects what she notices. This helps people clarify what matters and decide on next steps.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and psychodynamic influences. That mix means sessions can include looking at unhelpful thoughts, noticing patterns from earlier relationships, and trying small behaviour changes. Sandra uses clear, structured conversation rather than abstract theory.
She has experience supporting people through grief and loss, changes after illness, and the stress of caring for others. She also helps with self-esteem, guilt, intimacy-related concerns and difficulties with sleep or eating. Complex issues such as trauma, addiction and ADHD are also listed among her areas of focus.
Sandra works in English and Twi and accepts international clients. She is registered as NCPS and bases her work on those professional standards. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Sandra uses different approaches online
Sandra works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-centred work emphasises listening and reflection so people can decide their own goals and priorities. Psychodynamic ideas help notice repeating relationship patterns that affect present feelings and choices.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sandra will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which approaches to try. The plan can change as sessions reveal what helps most, and decisions are made collaboratively between therapist and client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a daily routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow audio-only meetings if video is difficult, or a time that fits around work and caring responsibilities. Ask about languages, timing and any practical adjustments when arranging the first appointment.
