Sara SukhijaBACP

Sara Sukhija offers a calm, straightforward approach for people facing pregnancy and childbirth-related worries and other life stresses. She writes in plain terms and aims to help clients feel more able to cope. She provides a space to talk things through and to understand patterns that keep causing pain.

Sara is a BACP counsellor, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and stress. Her background includes supporting people dealing with addiction, trauma, infertility and trust issues.

In sessions she tends to use psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and experiences shape present feelings. That can help people spot repeated patterns, understand how they respond under pressure, and try out different ways of relating and coping. Conversations are paced to each person, not rushed.

Sara also helps with everyday difficulties like sleep problems, low self-esteem, career strain and parenting stress. She can talk about more complex issues such as attachment and abandonment, chronic illness, and eating or substance problems. The focus is on practical understanding and gradual change.

Mind Focus Counselling is the practice name Sara uses. The tone is hopeful and growth oriented, with attention to strength and new beginnings. To start, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Psychodynamic approaches and online counselling

Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand how past relationships shape present feelings and reactions. This approach focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships, and it can be helpful for anxiety, grief, attachment issues and responses to major life changes like pregnancy and childbirth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Together they will review how sessions are going and adjust the way they work if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. It also makes regular check-ins simpler when relocating or balancing childcare and work. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support steady progress without requiring attendance at a clinic.
