About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah offers straightforward, compassionate counselling for people facing anxiety, stress, grief and relationship strains. She introduces herself simply and listens without judging. Sandra aims to help people find practical ways to cope and move forward from painful life events.
Sandra trained and qualified in 2005 and brings ten years of experience to her practice. She is NCPS, which refers to her membership with that professional body. Her work draws on person-centred ideas, so she does not present herself as the expert who fixes problems for clients.
In sessions she focuses on listening, honesty and respect. She tailors the direction of the work to each person’s needs and preferences. That can mean looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, the influence of past events, or setting clear, short-term goals for change.
Sandra has supported people through grief and loss, parenting pressures, caring responsibilities and sudden illness. She also helps with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, addiction-related issues and codependency. She brings calm persistence to conversations about anger, sleep or eating difficulties and career stress.
Her approach is practical and person-led. Sandra works with people to identify small, manageable steps. She encourages realistic aims and helps people notice what is already working for them.
How Sandra's approaches translate to online counselling
Sandra draws on client-centred work that puts the person and their goals first. This approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual and can help with concerns such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical tools for coping. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and managing everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will talk with each person about their needs and try different ways of working until something fits. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively, based on the client's goals and preferences.
