Sarah Ankamah , BACP

Sarah Ankamah brings nine years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Sarah offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to help people take the first steps toward change.

She helps people manage relationship strains, grief and loss, and the emotional impact of life transitions. Sessions also cover issues such as addictions, intimacy concerns and parenting strains. There is particular attention to women's issues and challenges faced by young adults.

Sarah draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions warm and person-focused. That approach means conversations are led by what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical ways to break unhelpful patterns.

In a session Sarah listens closely and helps clients identify small, workable steps. She aims to make ideas easy to try between meetings so progress feels manageable. People often come away with clearer priorities and simple strategies for day-to-day coping.

Sarah speaks English and accepts international clients. Her practice offers phone and video calls, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the usual process.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the client sets the agenda and the counsellor follows their lead. It helps people clarify feelings, values and personal goals so they can make choices that feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for worries, low mood and building new coping skills that can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sarah will listen to a person's goals and try out methods together, adjusting direction as needs change. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chats or messages suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work across distance.
