About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. She encourages small steps toward clearer thinking and greater confidence.
Sarah helps people facing stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and difficulties with motivation and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and coping with life changes. Practical concerns such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue and postpartum depression are included in her work.
Her practice pays attention to how attachment, culture and life transitions shape feelings and behaviour. She offers support around codependency, dissociation, chronic illness and disability, and experiences of emptiness or forgiveness. Immigration and multicultural concerns are also areas she addresses with sensitivity.
Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions person-led and respectful of each person’s pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
People describe the start of therapy as a chance to be heard and to work out manageable next steps. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with a counsellor, complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, showing empathy and creating a space where feelings can be named. Online counselling can keep that same person-led tone, letting clients set the pace and topics they want to explore. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical experiments to shift patterns. CBT can work well online when clients want concrete tools to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will work with the client to decide whether a person-led, reflective style or more structured CBT work is most useful. That choice can change over time as goals and needs evolve, and sessions can blend elements from both approaches.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep therapy going across different locations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often accommodate timing and practical needs to help therapy fit everyday schedules.
