About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people talk through current problems and make small, manageable changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect conversations about what is happening now and practical strategies to try between meetings.
Sarah often supports people coping with life changes, parenting strains and compassion fatigue. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges linked to immigration or multicultural concerns. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, chronic pain, codependency and postpartum depression.
Her style is direct and attentive. She asks specific questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set achievable goals. Many sessions involve working on thoughts, behaviours and small experiments to test new ways of responding.
Sessions are conducted in English and accept international clients. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the online options button.
How CBT and client-centred work translate to online sessions
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns and test new responses. CBT sessions focus on practical steps, short experiments and homework tasks to try between meetings. Client-Centred Therapy is used alongside CBT to give space for people to describe what matters to them and to set goals at a comfortable pace.The choice of approach is collaborative. Sarah will discuss your goals, preferences and current difficulties and together you will decide which methods to try first. That discussion can include which techniques feel practical and which to avoid, based on what you want to achieve.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and daily life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps you focus. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors like Sarah, use these options to help people apply therapeutic tools in everyday settings.
