About Sana
Sana Khwaja helps people who are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or strained by life changes. She is a counsellor who focuses on Men's wellbeing among other concerns and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for talking through worries. Sana speaks English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. That means conversations are guided by what the individual brings, with the counsellor reflecting understanding and helping clients notice what matters most to them. Sana also draws on existential ideas to help people think about meaning, choice and the values that shape their lives.
Over five years of practice, she has supported people with addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and relationship and family concerns. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, attachment questions, fertility and adoption-related stress, and challenges linked to gender identity and LGBT topics.
Sana aims to support people who want clearer direction and more confidence in day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what’s practical and meaningful for each person, helping clients build coping strategies and make decisions that fit their values.

How client-centred and existential approaches translate to online therapy
Sana works from two main approaches that fit well with online talking therapy. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens carefully and helps reflect feelings back so clients can understand themselves better. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It invites people to consider what matters to them, to face difficult decisions, and to build a life that fits their values. This approach can aid those coping with life transitions, identity questions and midlife reassessments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sana will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and methods fit their goals and preferences. The style and pace are adjusted together so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Session practicalities should be checked before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow conversations from wherever a client is most comfortable. It also makes it simpler to arrange shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions to suit work and family commitments.
