Sandra Ankrah , NCPS

Sandra Ankrah is a London-based licensed counsellor who qualified in 2005 and brings a compassionate, person-centered approach to her work. She draws on principles of Person Centred therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the process rather than a prescriptive set of solutions. Sandra aims to walk alongside people as they explore their goals, listening without judgment and offering genuine, professional support grounded in respect and sensitivity.

As an accredited member of NCPS, Sandra follows the organisation’s codes of conduct and applies her training to support people through a range of challenges. She has particular experience helping clients with grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, parenting and relationship issues, and feelings of guilt. She also supports those facing major life changes, such as sudden illness, and people who are caring for others.

Sandra tailors conversations and therapeutic plans to each person’s unique needs, matching techniques and pacing to what feels most helpful. She emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and a nonjudgmental stance, encouraging clients to take courageous first steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life while offering steady professional guidance along the way.

Approaches for Online Support and Therapeutic Work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard so individuals can explore their own solutions; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve coping; it is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and practical problem solving.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and achievable goals, helping people make small, concrete changes and see progress quickly, which can be useful during life transitions and when managing immediate challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Sandra works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most effective and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible access to a licensed professional, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from another location. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
