Sana Khwaja
Compassionate counsellor for life changes
About Sana
Sana Khwaja helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sana aims to make the first conversation feel manageable for someone worried or stressed.
She uses a client-centred style that gives the person control over what to talk about and when. That means sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sana also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and what gives life direction when things feel confusing. Over five years she has worked with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and stress. She has supported people with relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting concerns, and challenges linked to identity and LGBT matters.
Sana also works on adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, and the strain of life changes such as fertility or postpartum concerns. Conversations are straightforward and practical. Sana helps people spot patterns, try small changes and rehearse new ways of relating.
She encourages reflection about values and choices when people face midlife or identity crossroads. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a professional registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sana accepts international clients and adapts to each person’s situation to make therapy useful and relevant.

Sessions & fees
Working with client-centred and existential approaches online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what is said and follows the client’s priorities. This approach suits people who need a calm space to make sense of feelings and to decide what they want to change.Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone feels adrift after life changes or is struggling with identity, purpose or difficult decisions. Sessions encourage reflection about values and how choices shape life direction.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on what helps. This collaborative stance means the therapeutic plan can change as the client’s needs become clearer.
Online sessions include video calls, phone work, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer brief exchanges, want to journal between meetings, or need more flexible times. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, parenting or travel.
