About Sarah

Sarah Ankamah helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss by working in a client-centred way and using cognitive behavioural techniques where helpful. She is registered with the BACP and has nine years of professional experience in the UK. Her approach focuses on straightforward conversations and practical steps to manage distress.

Sarah creates time in sessions for people to talk about what matters most to them. She listens without judgement and reflects back what she hears to help clarify thoughts and feelings. Where useful, she introduces simple cognitive behavioural strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.

She supports people dealing with low mood, confidence and motivation. She also works with addiction-related concerns, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related issues. Parents and young adults with stresses around parenting and life changes can discuss those pressures in session.

Additional areas Sarah covers include attachment issues, chronic health conditions, codependency and dissociation. She also offers support around immigration and multicultural concerns, postpartum difficulties, forgiveness and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are conversational and aim to be practical. Sarah and the person she is working with agree on goals and steps to take between meetings. This keeps therapy focused and relevant to everyday life.

How her counselling approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor encourages people to talk at their own pace and reflects back what she hears to help clarify feelings and aims. This approach is useful for emotional issues like grief, low self-esteem and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying different responses. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation or confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative way of choosing practical steps and reviewing progress together.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to arrange shorter check-ins or sessions around work and family commitments. Confirm the available session formats before booking so arrangements match everyday routines.
