About Sandra

Sandra Ankrah welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step. She listens without judgement and helps clients find clearer ways forward. Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Sandra trained as a counsellor and holds NCPS, which is shown after her name. She has ten years of experience supporting people through grief, loss, low self-esteem, relationship problems and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

She also works with those facing major life changes, illness, or the stresses of caring for others. Her style is influenced by person-centred ideas. That means Sandra avoids telling people what to do.

Instead she offers a steady, genuine presence and asks questions that help clients notice what matters to them. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small steps that can be tried between meetings. Sandra uses a mix of approaches when helpful, including cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.

She adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs and preferences. She works in English and Twi and accepts international clients. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled through the sign-up and matching process.

Sandra aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to rebuild confidence and cope with life’s challenges.

Online support

Practical approaches for online counselling

Sandra blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural tools to help people manage thoughts and day-to-day patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to think things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sandra works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy matches changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a conversational session with visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who need fewer tech demands or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging make it possible to share thoughts between meetings or fit sessions into a busy day. These options help people access therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
