Sarah Ankamah
Practical, person-centred counselling for daily struggles
About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Sarah aims to make the first step feel manageable and less daunting.
Sarah creates a calm, open space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She listens without judgement and helps people name patterns that get in the way of their goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring feelings so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and what can be changed.
These approaches are used together to suit each person's needs. Sarah works with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related difficulties. She also offers support around addiction issues, chronic pain or illness, attachment struggles and multicultural or immigration-related stress.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people outside the UK as well. Sarah explains what to expect at the start of therapy and helps clients set realistic, short-term goals. She aims to make therapy straightforward, practical and focused on the changes people want to see.

How Sarah blends person-centred and CBT approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to offer empathy, acceptance and understanding so people feel heard and able to explore difficult feelings. It works well for issues like grief, low self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, emotions and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss goals, try different strategies and agree what feels most useful for a person's particular situation. That collaborative process helps shape each plan and keeps therapy relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging can suit people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
