Sarah AnkamahBACP

Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, rebuild self-esteem, and cope with grief and life changes. She aims to create an open space where clients can say what they feel without judgement. Taking the first step towards feeling better can be hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Her approach is practical and warm. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Sarah has worked with a wide range of concerns across her practice, including relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, postpartum depression, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with attachment issues, multicultural and immigration concerns, chronic illness or pain, and the emotional effects of dissociation or codependency.

Sessions are run with attention to each person's pace and goals. She helps people set realistic steps and checks in on progress as therapy continues. Many clients come for short-term support; others prefer a longer process to work through deeper issues.

Sarah works in English and accepts international clients. If you want to explore whether she is the right fit, she asks new enquirers to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Sarah uses client-centred and CBT methods online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters to the person. The counsellor reflects back feelings and helps people find their own solutions, which suits those needing space to process strong emotions or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Sarah will work with each person to agree which methods fit their needs and goals, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible for people living outside the immediate area to work with a UK-based counsellor.
