Sara Sukhija, BACP

Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. She works with individuals facing depression, addiction, self-esteem struggles and a range of life changes. Sara aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward so people can talk through what matters most to them.

Sara uses psychodynamic approaches to help people understand patterns that may affect their feelings and choices. Therapy often focuses on past experiences and how they show up now, helping clients make sense of repeated reactions and discover different ways to respond. Conversations are paced to each person’s comfort and needs.

She has three years of experience working with clients on issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and parental or caregiver stress. Sara also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain and related life adjustments. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they appear.

Sara practices under the name Mind Focus Counselling in the United Kingdom. Her approach is non-judgemental and aimed at helping people build understanding and greater choice in their lives. She encourages clear, honest conversation and practical reflection between sessions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Understanding psychodynamic work and online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps people notice recurring patterns in feelings and relationships. It looks at how earlier experiences can shape current reactions and helps people make different choices over time. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and long-standing mood concerns.

Therapy also involves open conversation about how life events affect day-to-day coping. The therapist listens for attachment and abandonment themes and helps link those experiences to present worries such as low self-esteem, anger or issues with intimacy. Clients and the counsellor decide together which concerns to focus on and how to work towards clearer goals.

If you are considering online work, check the session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy lives, such as arranging a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online meetings can make it simpler to maintain continuity when routines are disrupted, while decisions about timing and length are shaped around the client’s needs and the therapist’s availability.
