About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and anger. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems repeating and on practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that began earlier in life and that now affect reactions and relationships. In conversation she helps people name recurring feelings, see where they come from and consider different responses. That can help reduce snapping, resentment or avoidance that has become familiar.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, ADHD and career worries. She also works with those affected by chronic illness, caregiver strain, bereavement and substance issues. Sara aims to address both the immediate problem and the background that feeds it.
Sessions at Mind Focus Counselling invite straightforward discussion of feelings, memories and the situations that trigger them. The emphasis is on listening carefully, offering observations about patterns, and finding practical next steps the client can try between sessions.
Her approach suits someone who wants to understand why anger or anxiety keeps returning, and who is ready to look at old habits alongside practical coping. New clients are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How psychodynamic work translates to online counselling
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and experiences shape present feelings and reactions. It usually involves talking about memories, repeated patterns and the emotions that arise in relationships, which can help explain why anger or anxiety shows up in certain situations.In practice this means the counsellor listens for themes and gently points out patterns the client may not notice. That can create space to try different responses and reduce automatic reactions such as snapping or shutting down. This approach can be useful for long-standing relationship issues, attachment concerns and recurring emotional pain.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide how psychodynamic ideas fit with more immediate coping strategies. The client’s feedback shapes what is prioritised in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible and let people avoid travel time while keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
