About Sana

Sana Khwaja is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and trauma. She works with issues such as addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting stress and coping with life changes. Her manner is straightforward and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.

Sana uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of each session.

Background and approach

That means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, and pace is set by the client rather than a fixed agenda. She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and make choices during difficult transitions. She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown here exactly as supplied.

Sana has supported people facing family and intimacy issues, self-esteem problems, postpartum depression and stresses linked to adoption, fertility and cultural identity. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Sana helps people talk through specific problems, try new ways of coping, and reflect on long-term goals.

She pays attention to how past events, including abuse or loss, influence present patterns. People come to her for help with communication breakdowns, infidelity, blended family tensions and issues linked to gender dysphoria or non-monogamous relationships. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client agree what to focus on and review progress as they go.

Ways of working Sana names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches translate to online support

Sana works using a client-centred approach and an existential perspective, each adapted for remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities; online that means sessions are shaped by what the client brings each time and pace is agreed together. Existential Therapy helps people think about meaning, choices and responsibility during change, and can be useful for midlife shifts, big decisions and struggles with identity.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Sana aims to be collaborative in deciding which ideas and techniques to use. She checks in about goals, tries things out, and adjusts the approach as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. Video calls let people speak face to face and use visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, more frequent contact for those who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats help people access regular support without changing their daily routines.
