About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, which reflects her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sarah offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and grief.
Her sessions focus on building a trusting space where clients can talk without fear of judgement. She listens closely and helps people name what is worrying them.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to uncover patterns that get in the way of everyday life and identify small steps forward. Sarah uses client-centred ways of working to keep the person’s needs at the heart of therapy. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
This combination suits people who want both empathetic listening and concrete strategies. She has experience supporting people with self-esteem, motivation, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues and parenting pressures. Additional areas she addresses include attachment difficulties, chronic pain or long-term illness, codependency and multicultural or immigration-related challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online or by phone. Sarah aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and to help people build practical coping skills for day-to-day life.
Approaches used online and how they help
Sarah primarily uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood and encouraging self-directed change. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small practical changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus more on reflective listening, practical CBT exercises, or a mix of both as sessions progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and aim for a normal face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or for people who express themselves better in writing. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
