Sandra Ankrah , NCPS

Sandra Ankrah is a licensed counsellor based in London who brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence to the therapeutic relationship. Her practice is informed by Client-Centered principles - she does not present herself as the expert who will fix problems for clients. Instead, she offers professional skills, active listening, and genuine engagement to walk alongside people as they pursue greater well-being and balance.

Sandra is an accredited member of NCPS, which signals adherence to professional codes of conduct and ethical practice. She has supported individuals through grief and loss, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, parenting and relationship difficulties, and feelings of guilt. She also has experience assisting people who are adjusting to major life changes, including sudden illness and the stresses of caregiving.

Dialogue and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals. Sandra aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where clients can explore concerns, build coping skills, and work toward more fulfilling ways of living. Taking the first step can be difficult, and she positions herself as a supportive companion on that journey.

Approaches in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Sandra Ankrah uses Client-Centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful and empathetic space where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach helps people who need support building self-awareness, confidence, and stronger self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she employs - it looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy is used to explore how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and choices, which can be helpful for deeper emotional issues and relational concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and insights emerge. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy with Sandra can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access support from licensed professionals without rearranging their lives, which can increase consistency and help maintain momentum in therapy.
