About Sara
Sara Sukhija helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She offers straightforward, calm support for depression, grief and problems with self‑esteem. People also come to her about relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns and parenting strains.
Sara is Sara Sukhija, a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people make sense of patterns that keep repeating. Sessions focus on thoughts, feelings and early life experiences that can shape reactions today.
Background and approach
Conversations are gentle but direct, aimed at increasing understanding rather than quick fixes. She has three years of professional practice and has worked with a range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, bereavement, anger, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Sara also supports people dealing with career shifts, compulsive behaviours and ADHD related struggles. Sara pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues and how they affect current relationships. She also addresses body image, codependency and communication problems in a practical way.
Work may include noticing repeated patterns, linking past experience to present problems and trying different ways of relating. Sara describes her practice as a place for focus and growth. Sessions aim to build hope and clearer direction.
To start, people complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to their needs and goals.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy
Sara primarily works with psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape feelings today. This approach helps people notice repeated patterns, understand why they react in certain ways and gradually try new responses. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship patterns and issues rooted in attachment.Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will decide whether psychodynamic work, or a different emphasis, is the better fit for the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for face‑to‑face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check‑ins or more flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and understanding.
