About Sana

Sana Khwaja is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety and related worries. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens carefully to what matters to each person. Sana invites straightforward conversation so people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's needs and choices at the forefront. That means sessions focus on what the client brings and on building their own resources to cope.

Background and approach

Sana also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, values and the life decisions that can feel overwhelming. Across five years of practice she has supported people dealing with stress, depression, self-esteem difficulties and relationship or family strain.

She has particular experience with issues around addictions, trauma and LGBT concerns, and with people adjusting to major life changes such as becoming a parent or navigating fertility and adoption matters. Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Sana helps clients identify small steps they can try between meetings, and she checks in on what works and what does not.

The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. People can expect a warm, down-to-earth approach. Sana encourages honest talk about feelings, intimacy and difficult memories while helping clients explore options and make clearer choices for the future.

Approach and access: how online work can help

Sana uses client-centred therapy which means sessions follow the client's agenda and pace. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions to anxiety, stress and relationship worries.

She also draws on existential therapy to help people explore life choices, values and meaning. That approach can be useful when major decisions, identity questions or feelings of emptiness are part of the presenting concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sana will discuss options and tailor the style to each person's goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively so the plan fits practical needs as well as emotional ones.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations while phone calls work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging can help with brief updates, flexible check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
