About Sandra
Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor who offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed. She listens without judgement and helps clients work out what matters to them. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so people can cope better day to day.
Sandra trained and has ten years of experience helping people through loss, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She also supports those facing major life changes, sudden illness and the stresses of caring for others.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's situation rather than a fixed script. Her way of working draws on person-centred ideas. That means Sandra aims to be genuine, warm and non-judgemental while clients lead the direction of sessions.
She combines that stance with structured techniques when helpful to address thinking patterns and everyday problems. Sandra is a member of NCPS which she follows for professional standards. She offers work in English and Twi and can meet people in different countries.
Conversations can be tailored to practical goals like managing anxiety, improving sleep or handling parenting pressures. The first meetings focus on building trust and setting small, clear goals. Sandra adapts the pace to each person, using reflective listening and problem-solving tools.
Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life’s demands.
Approaches to online counselling and how they help
Sandra uses a blend of person-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online work. Person-centred work means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, offers empathic listening and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be useful for building trust and exploring issues like grief, self-esteem or relationship worries.Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and coping. These methods give simple, practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts, change small routines, and improve sleep or reduce anxiety. They can be used alongside a warm, listening approach to make steady progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will discuss different ways of working and agree what fits best with each person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses so that sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messages suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when writing helps to clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments.
