About Sana
Sana Khwaja is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting pressures. She talks openly about addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse. People come for help with relationships, intimacy and low self-esteem as well as life changes like postpartum struggles or fertility worries.
Sana uses simple, person-focused ways of working. Sessions centre on what matters to the individual and on honest conversation. The aim is to explore feelings, notice patterns and find practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Her background includes five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That combination shapes a calm, steady approach and a focus on listening first. Sana can support people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues and blended family concerns.
She also addresses difficulties such as infidelity, communication problems and midlife shifts where a clear conversation about values and choices can help. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. The work tends to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on building confidence and clearer decision-making.

How Sana's approaches translate to online therapy
Sana uses Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through parenting stress, anxiety or relationship issues. Existential Therapy looks at values, choice and meaning and can help when people face big life changes or questions about identity and direction.Deciding on an approach is part of the work. Sana treats this as a joint process and adjusts methods to fit each person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try different ways of working and pick what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to book consistent sessions and to continue work when schedules or locations change.
