About Sara

Sara Sukhija helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low or stuck in their relationships. She works in a psychodynamic way and offers one-to-one counselling. Sara is a BACP member and has three years' experience.

Sara sees people who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictive behaviours. She also supports those facing relationship or intimacy difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, and problems linked to trauma and abuse. Her interest includes issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image worries.

In sessions she focuses on what has been happening for the person and how past patterns affect current life. Conversations aim to make sense of feelings and repeated relationship patterns. This can help people gain more choice over how they respond and how they feel about themselves.

Sara describes her practice as Mind Focus Counselling. She frames counselling as a place to explore thoughts and feelings and to work through painful experiences like bereavement, separation and addiction. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue and major life changes.

Her approach is conversational and reflective. Sessions look at thoughts, emotions and recurring themes in relationships and behaviour. Sara draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people increase self-understanding and manage difficult feelings more effectively.

Psychodynamic approach and remote counselling

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. It focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships and aims to increase self-understanding and emotional awareness, which can help with issues like anxiety, grief and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and they will decide together which way of working feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching the method to what you want to address.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. Some formats also let people choose not to use video, which can make check-ins shorter or reduce bandwidth needs. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to support ongoing therapy in a practical way.
