About Sara
Sara Sukhija offers a calm, steady presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties. She is a psychodynamic counsellor who aims to help people notice patterns that cause pain and find ways to move forward. Her approach is gentle and exploratory, with an emphasis on understanding how past experiences can shape present reactions.
Sara believes counselling should feel supportive and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting opposite her, whether that is coping with depression, managing addictive behaviours, or handling major life changes. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue.
With three years of experience, she has worked with people facing bereavement, infertility, post-traumatic stress and trust issues, among other difficulties. She uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help uncover recurring relationship patterns and emotional responses. Psychodynamic work often looks at how early experiences influence current feelings and choices.
Sara practises under the name Mind Focus Counselling. The practice aims to support growth, focus and new beginnings. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP.
Sessions are delivered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure whether this style of counselling fits their needs, Sara invites them to start by discussing their immediate concerns and goals.
How psychodynamic work can translate to online counselling
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on bringing awareness to recurring patterns in feelings and relationships. It encourages reflection on how earlier experiences shape current responses, which can help with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.Sara places emphasis on building a steady therapeutic relationship and exploring emotions at a measured pace. She will work collaboratively to decide whether psychodynamic work, or another way of working, best fits the person's goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as the work progresses to keep the approach useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people who prefer to meet from a familiar setting or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt the pace and tasks of psychodynamic work so it remains effective when not in person.
