About Sara

Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She works from a psychodynamic perspective and helps people who are coping with depression, addictions, self-esteem and a wide range of life changes.

Sara welcomes conversations about intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people living with ADHD, chronic illness or pain, and those affected by bereavement, domestic violence or separation. Her practice name is Mind Focus Counselling; the name reflects a focus on growth and new starts.

In sessions she pays attention to patterns from the past that repeat in current relationships. That helps uncover how early experiences shape present feelings and behaviours. The aim is to increase understanding so people can make different choices in daily life.

Sara describes counselling as a space to talk through difficult feelings, reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways to cope. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, codependency and communication problems. Conversations can include practical steps as well as exploring deeper emotional material.

She has worked with people affected by cancer, caregiver stress, drug and alcohol addiction, and body image concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Psychodynamic work and remote counselling

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It often focuses on recurring relationship patterns, early attachments and hidden emotional themes that turn up in everyday life. This approach can be useful for people who want to understand why they react a certain way and reduce repeating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will decide whether psychodynamic work or another way of working best suits the person's needs and day-to-day life.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit more easily around work, caregiving or treatment schedules. Remote appointments can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and keep therapy on a regular weekly or fortnightly rhythm. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly adapt their methods to work well at a distance and to help people manage stress, grief, relationship issues and long-term patterns without needing to change other parts of life.
