About Sana

Sana Khwaja helps people work through addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and parenting worries using a client-centred, conversational style. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Sana keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what is most pressing. She listens with attention and reflects back what she hears so people can clarify their thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, and with those dealing with addiction. She also supports people coping with life changes such as fertility challenges, adoption or blended family adjustments. Topics often covered include communication difficulties, intimacy concerns and issues around gender and sexual identity.

Sana draws on client-centred therapy to follow each person’s priorities in session. She also uses ideas from existential therapy to look at meaning, values and personal choices when people face big life questions or midlife transitions.

Sessions aim to help people build clearer ways of coping and make decisions that fit their lives. Sana offers a professional, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through and work out manageable next steps.

How her counselling approaches work in online sessions

Sana uses Client-Centred Therapy to centre the session on the person speaking. This approach involves active listening, reflection and following the client’s priorities, which can help with stress, low mood and relationship problems.

She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at values, purpose and choices. That approach is useful for people facing major life changes, questions about identity, or midlife concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sana will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the way she works to a person’s goals and preferences. The decision about methods is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-up contacts when needed. Different formats may also suit different needs, for example shorter check-ins where a brief update is required or longer sessions to work through more complex issues.
