About Sara
Counsellor Sara Sukhija is a BACP member with three years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people talk through patterns that recur in their lives. Sessions focus on feelings, past experiences and how these affect current relationships. This approach can help with low self-esteem, trust issues, grief and problems that return despite attempts to change.
She has worked with a wide range of difficulties including abuse, addictions, trauma, infertility and post-traumatic stress. Sara also supports people facing parenting strain, career change, chronic illness and body image concerns. Her background includes helping people who struggle with sleep, eating, anger and coping with major life transitions.
Her practice name is Mind Focus Counselling. The name reflects an emphasis on finding direction and building strengths. Clients are encouraged to speak plainly about what matters to them.
Sessions are aimed at building understanding rather than quick fixes. Sara listens for patterns in thoughts and relationships and helps people see how earlier experiences can shape current reactions. Over time this can open up different choices about how to respond and relate.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Psychodynamic approach and online counselling
Psychodynamic therapy looks at feelings, memories and repeating patterns. It helps people understand how earlier experiences shape current reactions and relationships. This can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and ongoing relational difficulties. The work is conversational and reflective. The therapist helps the client notice patterns and links between past and present. Together they decide what to focus on, so the approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online counselling fits around work and family life. It can make regular appointments easier to keep and can cut out travel time or allow a shorter check-in when days are busy. Some people prefer not to be on camera and that can be discussed when confirming the session type. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt psychodynamic work to a remote setting, pacing sessions to suit each person's needs and goals. The therapist will talk through how to work together and agree the practical details before the first session.Areas of expertise
