Sandra Ankrah, NCPS

Sandra Ankrah, NCPS, is a licensed counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of personal and relational challenges. She is an accredited member of NCPS and follows the organization’s codes of conduct, bringing professional standards to each therapeutic relationship.

Sandra’s practice is grounded in a client-centered philosophy, which means she approaches each person without preconceived solutions and focuses on listening with empathy and respect. She aims to be genuine and nonjudgmental, working alongside clients to explore their goals and to tailor conversations and plans to fit individual needs. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and responsiveness rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all cure.

Across her work Sandra has supported people facing grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence issues, parenting and family concerns, relationship difficulties, guilt, and significant life changes such as sudden illness or caregiving responsibilities. She also brings experience addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, intimacy concerns, and a range of other emotional and behavioral issues.

Clients can expect a thoughtful, compassionate practitioner who adapts therapeutic methods to the situation at hand and who encourages the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling, balanced life. Sandra offers services in English and Twi and is open to working with international clients.

Approaches that guide online therapy and flexible care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who need support building self-understanding, self-esteem, and stronger decision-making during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical next steps, helping clients set and achieve clear goals over a relatively short period. It can be useful when people want focused, action-oriented support for specific problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with each person to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access care from home, while balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, schedule appointments that fit busy lives, and connect with a licensed professional even when distance or time constraints would otherwise make in-person visits difficult.
