Sandra Ankrah, NCPS

Sandra Ankrah helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life. She speaks English and Twi and aims to make getting help straightforward and approachable. Sandra presents a calm, non-judgemental presence for people who want to feel more capable and grounded.

Sandra draws on her ten years of experience to tailor conversations to each person. She listens first, then works with clients to set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on what is most useful now, whether that is coping with grief, managing anxiety, or navigating big life changes.

Her way of working is grounded in client-centred practice, which means the person in front of her leads the pace and direction. Sandra also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns and try new approaches. She can bring solution-focused strategies when clients want quick, practical steps.

Sandra has registration with NCPS and follows their code of conduct. She has supported people with issues such as depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, parenting strain, chronic illness, and trauma. She also works with concerns like self-esteem, anger, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in several formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Sandra aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can explore concerns and build tools to cope.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace. The therapist offers empathy and reflection rather than directing change, which helps people gain clarity and self-trust over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful habits in daily life.

Many people find combining these approaches useful - starting with a listening, client-led stance and then trying focused CBT tasks when specific patterns become clear. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that suit their situation and preferences rather than imposing a single way forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, need more frequent brief contact, or want to reflect between messages. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties, or travel and still keep continuity of care.
