About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a BACP-registered counsellor who focuses on helping people find better rest and balance when life feels overwhelming. She meets people where they are and offers a calm space to talk about stress, sleep problems, relationships, grief and other concerns. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear support rather than jargon.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that affect sleep, mood and relationships. Sessions look at past experiences and recurring feelings that turn up in everyday life. This approach aims to make connections between current struggles and earlier events so people can try different ways of coping.
She has three years of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem and addictions, among other issues. She also supports people with eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress and chronic illness. The practice name, Mind Focus Counselling, reflects a focus on growth, strength and new beginnings.
In sessions Sara encourages open conversation about what is most troubling. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and reflect on progress. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs, whether someone wants short-term support or more time to work through deeper issues.
To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How psychodynamic work can suit online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on noticing patterns in feelings and relationships and understanding how past experiences shape present behaviour. In plain terms it involves conversations that gently link childhood events, recurring thoughts and current challenges, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety and relationship struggles.The process is collaborative. The therapist and client will work together to find the right pace and focus. That might mean tracing common reactions that affect rest, testing small changes to routines, or talking through emotions that interrupt sleep; choices are guided by the client’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the session options available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide sessions that aim to be flexible so people can prioritise therapy alongside work, family and other commitments.
