About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties. She works with worries about self-esteem, addiction and codependency. Sara aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through and start to feel more in control.
Sara trained in psychodynamic counselling and has three years of practice experience. She sees how past relationships and early patterns can shape current feelings and behaviour. In sessions she listens for recurring themes and helps people make links between earlier experiences and their present struggles.
Her background includes supporting people with depression, trauma and bereavement, as well as those coping with cancer, chronic illness and caregiving strain. She also works with intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, anger and career stress. This range means she draws on varied examples when talking about problems in session.
Sara describes her practice, Mind Focus Counselling, as a place for growth, strength and new beginnings. She keeps things straightforward and practical, helping people notice patterns and try small changes between meetings. The overall aim is clearer understanding and steadier coping.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How psychodynamic ideas guide online counselling
Psychodynamic counselling pays attention to recurring patterns in relationships and feelings. It helps people notice how early experiences might be replaying in current life. This approach can be useful for worries about attachment, abandonment, codependency and long‑standing unhappiness. In sessions the counsellor listens for themes that appear again and again. The aim is to help the person understand those patterns and try different ways of responding. Work is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what to focus on and what feels most helpful. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss whether psychodynamic work fits the person's goals and may adapt how sessions are run as needs change. This involves checking what feels useful, what to prioritise, and agreeing on small practical steps between meetings. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They also allow for shorter check‑ins when time is limited and reduce the need to commute, helping people keep therapy part of their everyday routine.Areas of expertise
