Sara Sukhija, BACP

Sara Sukhija is a qualified psychodynamic counsellor who believes in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and a more fulfilling life. She brings a compassionate, exploratory stance to therapy, helping people make sense of difficult periods when they feel lost, overwhelmed, or distressed.

Sara offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored safely. Drawing on psychodynamic principles, she helps clients understand patterns that may be linked to past experiences, relationships, or unconscious dynamics, and supports them in moving toward healing and greater self-understanding. Sara holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in counselling practice.

Her practice, Mind Focus Counselling, was named to reflect themes of growth, resilience, clarity, and new beginnings. Over her practice she has worked with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, experiences of abuse, bereavement, stress, infertility, post-traumatic stress, issues of trust, self-esteem difficulties, and addictions.

Sara welcomes opportunities to work collaboratively with people seeking to explore their inner experience and find practical ways to cope and grow. She looks forward to supporting clients through their next steps.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy options

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviours. It invites reflection on unconscious dynamics, attachment patterns, and recurring themes so clients can gain deeper self-understanding and address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma responses, grief, and difficulties in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sara works collaboratively with each person to identify which elements of psychodynamic work - and which ways of working online - best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the pace and focus of sessions to support ongoing insight and practical change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt psychodynamic work to online formats to support meaningful progress and personal growth.
