About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and parenting concerns. She offers a calm, steady space to talk through difficult feelings and everyday pressures. Her approach suits someone who wants to make sense of repeating patterns and feel more in control at home and work.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape current behaviour and relationships. Sessions often focus on emotional patterns, attachment and why certain reactions keep happening.
Background and approach
The aim is to increase self-understanding so clients can try different ways of coping. She has three years' experience working with a variety of issues, including depression, grief, addiction and relationship strain. Sara has also supported people with body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and changes linked to separation.
Her background includes helping people navigate difficult life transitions and problems with sleep or appetite. Sara holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Her practice name is Mind Focus Counselling, which she uses to reflect growth and fresh starts. Therapy sessions can be arranged in different online formats. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's available times.
Sara aims to work collaboratively so clients feel heard and clearer about next steps.

How psychodynamic counselling works online
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand how earlier relationships and events influence current emotions and behaviour. This approach often focuses on patterns that repeat in close relationships and on emotional responses that feel automatic, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety and parenting concerns.Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Sara works together with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work, or a different focus, fits their needs and goals. She tailors sessions to what a person wants to understand or change, checking in about progress and adjusting the approach when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging makes it possible to communicate without being on camera. These options help people fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments.
