About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, parenting pressures and challenges connected to identity and intimacy.
Sara offers a straightforward, talk-based approach that helps people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the person sitting in front of her. She listens for patterns from past and present that affect day-to-day life and relationships.
People come to Sara for help with sleep and eating problems, coping with life changes, anger and career stress. She also works with issues linked to trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and family problems. Her background includes supporting clients through bereavement and separation, and with the emotional effects of chronic illness and caregiving.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how earlier experiences shape current reactions. That approach is used alongside practical conversation about coping strategies for things like panic, low mood and relationship conflict. Sessions are kept simple and focused on what the client wants to change.
Her practice name is Mind Focus Counselling. People who choose to work with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. The model is intended to be steady and unhurried, aimed at clearer understanding and gradual emotional relief.
How sessions work
How psychodynamic work translates to online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy looks at links between past experiences and current feelings. It often involves talking about recurring patterns, relationships and early experiences that might shape reactions today. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, attachment concerns and long-standing relationship difficulties.In session the focus is on helping the client understand their feelings and responses. The therapist and client decide together what to focus on and which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process helps match the approach to the person's goals and day-to-day needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy around everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these practical benefits to keep sessions consistent with a client's routine and responsibilities.
