About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by change. She helps with common worries like stress, anxiety, grief and low mood, and practical struggles such as sleep, eating, addiction and work pressure. Sandra is introduced by name here so visitors know who they will meet.
Sandra uses a person-centred way of working that prioritises the person's experience. That means she listens without judgement, mirrors what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing answers.
Background and approach
Conversations are usually plain and direct, and the focus is on what the client wants to change. Over a decade of practice has given Sandra varied experience with relationship concerns, parenting pressures, and coping with life changes such as illness or caring responsibilities. She also supports people facing issues related to attachment, abandonment, body image and chronic health challenges.
Clients can expect a steady, respectful presence and practical help to manage day-to-day difficulties. Sandra draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques as part of her toolbox. She adapts sessions to suit each person's needs, blending short-term strategies with deeper reflection when useful.
The aim is to build clearer thinking, better coping habits and more satisfying relationships. Sandra is an accredited member of NCPS, with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and Twi and works with people internationally through the platform.

How Sandra works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers clear, practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sandra will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adapted over time as needs and priorities change.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling. Some approaches suit brief goal-focused work, while others support deeper reflection over several sessions, and Sandra can help you choose what will be most useful.
