About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and motivation. She also helps with grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem and confidence.
Sarah aims to make it easier to start talking and to take that first step towards change. She creates an open and non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can say what’s on their mind. Sessions tend to focus on what the person wants to change and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sarah draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful patterns. Her work often addresses parenting challenges and intimacy-related concerns alongside other life stresses. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addiction, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.
Sarah pays attention to cultural and immigration issues when these are relevant to a person’s experience. Practical problems such as chronic pain, long-term illness, postpartum depression and codependency are part of her caseload. She will gently explore attachment patterns and feelings of emptiness or dissociation when these come up.
The focus is on small, achievable changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and is available to people inside and outside the UK.
The first meeting is used to agree goals and decide how best to move forward together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens with curiosity and reflects what is said to help people feel understood and to find their own solutions. This approach suits emotional concerns like grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It often includes practical exercises and short tasks between sessions to build new habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences during early sessions and try methods that suit the person’s situation. If a different emphasis is needed, they adjust the plan collaboratively so the work remains relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can fit people who prefer typing or need more flexible, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments.
