About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with common early-adult concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem and addiction. She welcomes conversations about identity and LGBT issues, career pressures and the challenge of big life changes.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice patterns from the past that keep repeating now. In sessions she helps clients talk through feelings about attachment, abandonment and trust, and looks at how those feelings affect current relationships and decisions. This can be useful when someone feels stuck or keeps having the same conflicts.
Her experience includes supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, chronic illness and caring responsibilities. She also works with issues around eating, sleep, anger and codependency. Sara describes her practice as a place to look at what underlies difficult emotions and behaviours, rather than only managing surface symptoms.
The practice name is Mind Focus Counselling, which she says reflects growth and new beginnings. Sessions aim to build greater understanding of how past experiences shape present reactions. That understanding is then used to make practical changes in day-to-day life.
For anyone feeling overwhelmed by early-adulthood pressures - starting work, leaving home, relationship uncertainty or feeling behind - Sara offers a space to think things through. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Psychodynamic approaches and how online work can fit
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand recurring patterns, such as attachment or abandonment worries, that affect how they relate to others and to themselves.In practice this means talking about key memories, repeated reactions and the feelings that come up in sessions. For issues like anxiety, grief, relationship conflict and identity struggles in early adulthood, this approach aims to increase awareness and reduce unhelpful repetition of old patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and help decide whether psychodynamic work or another direction is more useful. That decision can change over time as you learn more about what helps.
