About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck, anxious or overwhelmed. She presents a calm, steady presence and wants clients to feel heard and understood early in therapy. Sara works from a simple belief that people can grow and find more satisfying ways to live.
She practices psychodynamic therapy, which looks at patterns that often repeat across relationships and choices. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours.
Background and approach
This can help with problems such as anxiety, depression, grief and difficulties with trust or self-esteem. Sara has three years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as part of her professional details. Her work has included supporting people through abuse, bereavement, addiction, infertility and trauma-related distress.
She also addresses concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, compassion fatigue and the pressures of work and parenting. People who contact her often want a space to talk openly about relationship worries, identity questions including LGBT matters, or responses to life changes. In sessions she asks questions, listens closely and helps clients notice repeated patterns.
The aim is to build understanding, make different choices and reduce distress. Sara runs Mind Focus Counselling in the United Kingdom. If someone is thinking about starting therapy she encourages them to reflect on their goals and then arrange an initial match and scheduling step through the service's booking process.

How psychodynamic work translates to online counselling
Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns in feelings and relationships and how early experiences influence present choices. It often uses focused conversation to help people notice these patterns and understand their emotional responses. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief and difficulties with trust or self-esteem.In practice Sara helps clients identify what they want to change and then works with them to test different ways of responding. Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process and she will adapt the work to a person's goals, pace and comfort level. Together they review what helps and what does not, and adjust the sessions accordingly.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep regular meetings during life changes. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and choices about whether to use video or audio depending on what suits someone on the day.
