Sandra Ankrah

Sandra Ankrah offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk when life feels overwhelming. She listens with attention and respects each person's story, helping people make sense of difficult moments and find clearer paths forward.

She uses a person-centred way of working, which means she does not arrive with fixed answers. Instead she asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients notice options they might not have seen. Sandra adapts conversations to each person so sessions stay practical and focused on what matters to them.

Her background includes ten years of experience supporting people through grief, loss, low self-esteem, relationship strain and parenting challenges. She also has experience with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and caring for someone with illness or disability. Sandra is registered with NCPS, listed as NCPS in her credentials.

Sessions are shaped around the individual's goals, and she draws on short-term approaches when useful to build coping skills quickly. She also uses deeper, exploratory conversations when people want to trace patterns from the past that affect their present.

Sandra speaks English and Twi and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She encourages anyone considering therapy to start with a clear idea of what they'd like to change, so time together can focus on practical next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sandra uses person-centred work to prioritise what each person feels is important, listening closely and reflecting back to help clarify goals. This approach suits people who want an empathetic space to talk through life events and decisions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out practical strategies. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and building routine-based coping skills.

Psychodynamic ideas are sometimes drawn on to look at patterns that repeat over time and affect current relationships. This can be useful when someone wants to understand the origins of recurring difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss options, consider the person's goals and preferences, and agree a plan that feels practical and collaborative.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often adapt materials and exercises for remote sessions so work remains practical and goal-focused.
