About Sarah
Sarah Ankamah brings nine years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She listens without judgment and helps clients take practical steps when life feels overwhelming. Sarah aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is anxious or unsure about starting therapy.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. Sarah also works with those facing grief, relationship strain, difficulties with self-esteem, and challenges around motivation and confidence.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to intimacy-related issues, addictions and compassion fatigue. Sarah uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person sitting in front of her. That means she focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with empathy.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence feelings and offers practical ways to make small, steady changes. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused when needed. Sarah helps set clear, achievable aims and checks progress together as therapy continues.
She adapts the pace to what each person needs. People from varied backgrounds consult her for help with parenting pressures, multicultural or immigration concerns, postpartum difficulties, and young adult transitions. Sessions are held in English and are available to international clients who can access services from the UK.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and responding with empathy. Online, this often looks like a calm, listening space where the counsellor reflects what is said and helps a person make sense of their feelings. It suits people who need acceptance and a steady, supportive presence.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions this usually involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and decide jointly which approach fits best with the client's needs and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person in everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less data, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
