About Sara

Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictions, among other concerns. Sara focuses on helping people who find everyday life hard to manage and who want clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings. She helps people notice how past experiences affect what they do now. Sessions involve talking through thoughts, memories and reactions to build understanding and make different choices.

People come to Sara with many kinds of difficulties, including issues around intimacy, body image, chronic illness, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment and family problems. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings less confusing and to increase practical coping skills.

Sara describes her practice as Mind Focus Counselling. She offers steady, direct conversation and reflection to help people find clarity. Over time this can change how someone responds to stress, relationships and loss.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns in feelings and relationships. It invites people to notice how earlier experiences shape current reactions and choices. This can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties and problems like low self-worth or repeated conflict.

Sessions are conversation-based and often involve reflecting on memories, emotions and the way someone reacts to others. That reflection can make confusing feelings clearer and open up different ways of responding over time. The therapist and client work together to decide which ideas and exercises fit the person's goals and comfort level.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sara will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and invite your input when shaping the sessions. This collaborative way helps pick techniques and pacing that suit your life.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so check the available session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid being on camera if that helps someone focus.
