About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain and anger, among other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Twi, and she accepts clients from outside the UK as well.
Sandra uses a person-centred attitude in sessions. That means she does not come with fixed ideas about what is wrong. Instead she listens, asks clarifying questions and works alongside the person to clarify goals. Practical talking and reflective listening are common parts of her sessions.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thoughts and habits that feed stress, low mood or anger. Where patterns reach back to earlier relationships, she may offer psychodynamic ideas to make sense of repeating themes. Solution-focused work is used when clients want brief, goal-directed steps to try between meetings.
Sandra has supported people through bereavement, parenting strain, life changes such as sudden illness, and caring responsibilities. She helps with self-esteem, guilt and coping strategies for day-to-day pressures. Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful while helping people test small changes in how they think and act.
If someone wants to start, Sandra asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session. She explains how the work might look and agrees on practical steps based on the person’s aims.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says without coming in with fixed answers. It helps people who need to feel understood while they sort through anger, grief or relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for stress, anxiety and anger management. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to repeating patterns that come from earlier relationships and can help explain why certain triggers keep coming up.Choosing a way of working is part of the therapy itself. Sandra will discuss different approaches and decide together with the client which methods to try first. That collaborative process includes checking what feels doable and what goals matter most to the person.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to use worksheets and behavioural experiments between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises to suit remote appointments, and Sandra will explain practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire.
