Sandra Ankrah, NCPS

Sandra Ankrah welcomes people who are worried, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She speaks English and Twi and aims to make first conversations simple and direct. Her approach is calm and straightforward, starting with listening before any suggestions are made.

Sandra uses a person-centred way of working that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She focuses on being genuine and non-judgemental while helping clients clarify what matters to them. That first phase is about building trust and making a plan together.

Her background includes ten years of practice and membership of NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Sandra has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting stresses, low self-esteem, and life changes such as sudden illness. She also has experience with difficulties like anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and attachment.

In sessions she draws on a mix of methods including Client-Centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused strategies. That allows her to adapt to different needs - sometimes working on practical coping steps, sometimes looking at early patterns that repeat, and sometimes focusing on immediate goals.

Sandra aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready, and supports them through the practical and emotional parts of change.

How Sandra’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. It helps when someone needs time to make sense of what matters to them and to decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and works on practical steps to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping strategies that need clear, short-term goals.

Psychodynamic ideas help identify recurring patterns that may come from earlier life experiences. This can be useful when similar problems keep repeating and someone wants to understand where those patterns began.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with the person to choose which approaches to use, guided by their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer a particular session format please confirm which options the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions aim to help people make steady progress while fitting therapy alongside everyday life.
