Sarah Ankamah

Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Sarah aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and grounded in practical support. Sarah creates an open space where people can talk about what matters to them without feeling judged. She focuses on building trust and clarity so clients can start to notice small changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward, with attention to real-life steps between sessions. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace and concerns. That means the client’s experience leads the conversation and goals are shaped together. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when people want clearer tools for managing thoughts and behaviours linked to anxiety, depression and stress. Sarah has worked across a range of issues including grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, immigration and multicultural stresses, and postpartum depression. Women’s issues are included among the areas she focuses on. People often come to Sarah wanting help with self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. She works to turn difficult feelings into practical steps so day-to-day life becomes easier to manage. If you prefer to meet someone who listens first and plans next, Sarah aims to offer that style.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead so topics and goals emerge naturally. This approach helps when someone needs an accepting space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress and includes simple exercises that can be tried between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and try different ways of working to match your needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so check current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits, and different ways of working such as exercise-based homework or written reflections that fit into everyday life.
