Sandra Ankrah, NCPS

Sandra Ankrah is a licensed counsellor based in London who offers a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy. She approaches each person without assumptions, using professional skills to walk alongside individuals as they explore the changes and challenges in their lives. Sandra aims to create an environment of genuine listening, respect, and non-judgement so people can find their own direction toward greater wellbeing.

Sandra draws on influences from Person Centred therapy, which means she does not position herself as the expert who will fix problems. Instead she collaborates with people to identify priorities, tailor conversations, and shape a therapeutic plan that fits each person’s unique needs. Her work often focuses on grief and loss, building self-esteem and confidence, parenting and relationship concerns, and feelings of guilt. She also supports people facing life transitions such as sudden illness and those who are caring for others.

She is an accredited member of NCPS, indicating membership of a recognised professional counselling body and adherence to its codes of conduct. Sandra emphasises sensitivity and compassion in her practice and offers personalised support for those who are ready to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life.

Person-centred and CBT approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s own perspective guides the work. It helps with self-exploration, building confidence, and navigating life transitions by emphasising empathy and genuine listening.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is practical and structured, useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, coping skills, and situations where changing specific thoughts or habits can improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Sandra will work with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and strengths, and then tailor techniques or combine approaches in a way that fits their needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to continue therapy during life transitions or when in-person visits are not convenient. Registered professionals can adapt their methods effectively in these formats to support meaningful progress.
