About Sana
Sana Khwaja offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She welcomes conversations about addiction, LGBT concerns, trauma and parenting challenges. Sana writes in plain terms and aims to help people take small, steady steps toward feeling better.
Sana uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of each session. She listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them.
Background and approach
This approach is useful when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk things through. She also draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, choice and the pressures of life. That perspective can help when people face major life changes, identity questions or a sense of being stuck.
Together these ways of working create room to think about practical next steps as well as bigger life questions. Sana has five years of experience in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with a broad range of concerns including self-esteem, intimacy issues, postpartum depression and cultural or multicultural challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts people from the United Kingdom and international locations. Conversations typically focus on what the person wants to change and how to get there in manageable stages. If someone prefers, sessions can include shorter check-ins or longer, more in-depth conversations.

Approaches Sana lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Existential Therapy which looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. That way of working can be helpful for people facing big life changes, questions about identity or a sense of being stuck, and it encourages people to consider practical next steps alongside deeper questions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Sana will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and tailor sessions accordingly. This collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on present-day coping, exploring values and meaning, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls support deeper conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions, making therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy lives.
