About Sana

Sana Khwaja offers a calm, straightforward approach for people facing difficult life moments. She focuses on helping individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges linked to addiction or trauma. Sessions are aimed at making space to talk, to feel heard, and to find practical ways forward.

Sana uses a warm, non-judgemental manner so people can speak honestly about what matters to them. She works to build trust and to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they explore options for change at a pace that feels manageable.

Her work draws on client-centred principles, which mean the conversation is led by the client's concerns and goals. She also brings existential ideas into sessions, helping people think about meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. These approaches are used to address issues such as self-esteem, grief, midlife questions, and identity-related concerns.

Sana has five years of experience supporting people across a range of problems, including parenting strains, fertility and adoption questions, and difficulties arising from family and communication breakdown. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

People who choose Sana often want straightforward, practical conversations paired with deeper reflection on values and life direction. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How Sana's approaches work in online therapy

Sana draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions and aims to make conversations feel genuine and paced by the client. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify their own goals.

She also uses an existential perspective that invites people to reflect on life choices, meaning and values. That can be useful for clients facing midlife questions, identity concerns or major life changes, and helps turn reflections into next steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sana will talk with each client about what they want to achieve and try different ways of working to see what fits best. Together they set goals and review progress so therapy stays relevant to the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversations to suit remote appointments while keeping the focus on practical changes and personal meaning.
