About Sarah

Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or changes after loss. Sarah aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive rather than intimidating.

She creates an open space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.

Background and approach

Sarah listens for what matters most to the client and works alongside them to set realistic goals. In therapy she uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes.

These approaches are used to address issues such as relationships, self-esteem, addiction concerns, and trauma and abuse. Sarah also focuses on topics like attachment, coping with chronic illness or pain, dissociation, immigration and multicultural concerns, and postpartum depression. She supports people navigating parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and the strain of life transitions.

Her style is warm and practical. She will help you identify small, manageable steps and offer techniques you can use between sessions. For many clients the combination of listening and practical tools helps them feel steadier and clearer about next steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about following the person’s lead and creating space to be heard. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the client clarify what matters most. It works well for people who need time to feel understood before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and patterns that keep repeating.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and any practical limits and then adapt methods to fit the person. Many people find a mix of listening and practical techniques works best, and this is explored together as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. Video calls let the counsellor and client meet face to face, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging give shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care when schedules change or travel is difficult, while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims and exercises used in person.
