Sandra Ankrah, NCPS

Sandra Ankrah is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, grief, changes in health, relationship worries and a wide range of everyday life challenges. She uses a direct, respectful style and aims to listen without judgement as people talk through what matters to them.

She trained and qualified in 2005 and holds NCPS as a recorded credential. Sandra has around ten years of experience supporting people with grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties and guilt. She also supports those coping with sudden illness and people who care for others.

Her approach is rooted in Person-Centred ideas. That means she does not come in with fixed answers. Instead she works alongside people, reflecting what they say and helping them find their own direction.

Sandra also draws on methods from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused work when practical steps or new ways of thinking are useful. She adapts conversations and techniques to each person’s needs rather than using a single script.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Sandra emphasises clear listening, honesty and practical next steps so people can try out changes between meetings. She frames therapy as a process where the client’s goals shape the work together.

How Sandra's approaches translate to online therapy

Sandra uses Person-Centred ways of working which focus on genuine listening and supporting a person to find their own path. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks clarifying questions and helps you set goals that feel right for you.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and can offer practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Solution-Focused work is used to identify small, achievable steps you can try between sessions to move toward your goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sandra will discuss options, listen to your preferences and recommend ways of working that match your needs and aims. The choice of methods is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
