Sara Sukhija, BACP

Sara Sukhija is a counsellor who helps people untangle worrying thoughts and daily habits that get in the way of living well. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling stressed, anxious, low or overwhelmed. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship difficulties and challenges like addiction and self-esteem struggles.

Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that repeat over time. In sessions she listens for themes in thoughts, feelings and relationships, and gently links those to current problems. The aim is to make sense of hidden emotions so people can make different choices in day-to-day life.

She describes her practice as Mind Focus Counselling, a name meant to reflect growth, strength and new beginnings. Her approach is steady and reflective, with emphasis on noticing how early experiences shape current habits and reactions. Sessions are conversational and aim to build clarity rather than quick fixes.

Sara has three years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

If someone is unsure how therapy might fit into their life, Sara invites them to explore their options and consider how small changes in thought and habit could reduce stress and improve relationships.

Psychodynamic thinking and online therapy

Sara works with psychodynamic ideas, which look at how past relationships and early experiences shape current thoughts and habits. This approach helps people notice repeated patterns and the emotions behind them, useful for issues like relationship strain, anxiety and low mood.

In practice she listens for recurring themes in thoughts and behaviour, then helps name and understand those patterns. That process often makes it easier to try different ways of thinking and acting in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she will discuss options so therapy fits the person’s needs and goals in a collaborative way.

Details about session formats are not specified in her profile, so confirm the current options before booking. When arranging remote sessions, people often find online work helpful for fitting appointments around family and work, avoiding travel, or having a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use psychodynamic approaches, aim to make therapy match everyday life while working together on thoughts and habits.
