About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical, everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Sarah aims to make the first step feel manageable by offering steady support and a calm listening presence.
She creates a space where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Sessions are aimed at helping people understand what is happening for them and find small, realistic ways to feel better.
Background and approach
Sarah draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills. Her work covers a wide range of issues including grief, self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related difficulties and parenting strains. She also focuses on attachment concerns, chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.
Cultural and immigration issues, postpartum depression and young adult challenges are also within her remit. Sarah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and can work with people in different countries.
Sessions are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sarah uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Sarah lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and building day-to-day coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. She collaborates on what to try, reviews progress and adjusts the plan as therapy continues.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility so people can find a way of working that suits their routine and comfort.
