About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah brings nine years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She creates an open space where people can talk about what feels hard. Sarah emphasises non-judgemental listening and practical steps to help with day-to-day struggles.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps with relationship concerns, grief and loss, and setbacks to confidence and motivation. Sarah offers support around addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues as well as parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that can be changed. Sessions aim to blend listening with practical tools that someone can try between meetings.
Sarah also pays attention to attachment-related patterns and to issues that can follow illness, chronic pain or major life changes. She is experienced supporting people facing multicultural and immigration-related stresses, postpartum depression and young adult concerns.
People who value a collaborative style and clear, everyday language tend to find her approach helpful. If you want a counsellor who listens first and helps plan practical next steps, Sarah offers that straightforward style.
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, where the counsellor listens closely and helps the person set the pace and aims of therapy. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings, explore relationships or rebuild confidence.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and recurring worry by giving short, concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively to agree what makes sense for each person, adjusting methods to fit someone’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting counselling around work, family or mobility constraints, for shorter check-ins when needed, and for keeping sessions consistent across moves or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to remote work and help prioritise practical steps you can use between sessions.
