About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah has spent nine years working as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship difficulties and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
She aims to make the counselling space open and non-judgemental. Sessions are framed around what the person wants to work on and progress is guided by their needs.
Background and approach
The first step is often the hardest, and she offers steady support while people explore changes they want to make. Sarah draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
These methods are explained in plain terms and used together to suit each person. Her additional interests include attachment questions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns linked to chronic pain, illness or disability, immigration and multicultural issues, postpartum depression and issues many women and young adults face.
People can expect straightforward conversation, practical ideas to try between sessions and gradual goals that feel manageable. Sarah helps people notice small changes and build on them. If someone wants clarity on next steps, she supports planning realistic ways forward.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Sarah works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods over time. Decisions about using client-centred listening or CBT exercises are made together, so the plan fits what the person needs and how they prefer to work.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to continue therapy when life events or location changes would otherwise interrupt progress.
