About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She uses a calm, down-to-earth approach so conversations feel straightforward and practical. Sandra offers a steady presence and a non-judgemental listening style to help people talk through difficult feelings and choices.
Sandra trained in counselling and has worked in the field for ten years. She holds NCPS and follows the organisation's codes of conduct. Her experience includes supporting people with grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship strain and the stresses of caring for others.
Her way of working is influenced by Person-Centred approaches. That means Sandra does not come in with fixed answers. Instead she listens and helps each person find their own path forward. Sessions are collaborative and shaped around what the client wants to achieve.
She also draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to tackle practical problems and unhelpful thinking patterns. Psychodynamic ideas can be brought in when looking at deeper or recurring issues.
Sandra is comfortable discussing matters linked to adoption and foster care and other attachment concerns. She adapts conversations so they suit each person's pace and situation. If someone wants steady, respectful support while they work through change, Sandra aims to make that easier to do.
How Sandra's approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are, helping clients feel heard and supported while they decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas explore repeated patterns from the past that show up now and can help when deeper, long-standing issues are affecting daily life.Choosing the right approach is a shared effort. Sandra works with clients to identify goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as needed. This helps people find methods that fit their goals and personality rather than forcing one set approach.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or to choose a quieter environment that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools to work well online, so practical progress is still possible even when meeting remotely.
