Sarah Ankamah, BACP

Sarah Ankamah is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings nine years of professional experience to her practice. She holds BACP accreditation, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her commitment to recognized professional standards. Sarah focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her work also attends to related areas such as attachment difficulties, chronic pain or illness, codependency, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, immigration and multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, women's issues, and the unique needs of young adults. Sarah aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly, and she supports clients in taking the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She collaborates with people to build motivation, confidence, and practical coping strategies tailored to each individual’s situation and goals.

Sarah welcomes clients who seek steady, empathic support through life's transitions and challenges, and she works to help them develop clearer perspectives and more effective ways of managing emotional and relational difficulties.

Approaches for Online Support and Practical Care

Sarah uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where the client's own priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes active listening and collaboration, helping people explore their feelings and build self-awareness - it can be especially useful for relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and related difficulties. CBT offers practical tools and structured techniques that many people find helpful for developing coping strategies and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her methods so the work fits the individual rather than fitting the person to a single model.

Online therapy with Sarah is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life.
