About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah meets people where they are and helps them find clearer footing. She speaks English and Twi and uses calm, straightforward conversation to help with worries about stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Sandra keeps sessions focused and practical so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into their lives.
Sandra draws on ten years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She listens without judgement and treats each person with respect and compassion.
How Sandra works
Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on rather than a fixed formula. Her background includes registration with NCPS, which guides her professional practice and standards. Sandra uses familiar approaches such as client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns.
She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused perspectives when these suit the situation. In early meetings she prioritises clarity and practical steps. Together they agree on goals and small actions to try between sessions.
This makes progress easier to spot and helps busy people keep therapy useful and relevant. Sandra supports people dealing with relationship issues, parenting stress, addiction concerns, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, career strain and chronic illness. She also works with those facing life transitions, attachment or abandonment issues, and carers under pressure.
Her style is warm, steady and goal-aware.

Online support options
Approach-based online therapy that fits your life
Sandra commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to and understood, with the counsellor following the person’s agenda and reflecting what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try new ways of responding to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will talk through options and try methods that match a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
