About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed or low and wants to help them find more balance. Sara uses straightforward conversations to explore what matters to each person and to find realistic ways forward.
Sara practises psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. In sessions she helps people notice recurring themes in relationships, mood and behaviour and links these to current struggles like low self-esteem, grief or compulsive habits.
Background and approach
Her background includes three years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns. These include depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and issues around intimacy and communication. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related worries and major life transitions.
Sara is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers work in English and provides therapy remotely using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sara aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where practical steps and deeper understanding can be developed together.
Psychodynamic work online and practical session options
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people identify repeating patterns in relationships, mood and behaviour, and supports greater self-understanding around issues like anxiety, grief, self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions usually involve reflective conversation about thoughts, feelings and memories to uncover links between past and present.In online work the therapist and client collaborate to find the best way forward. The approach and pace are chosen together, based on what the person needs and hopes to change. This means goals and techniques can shift over time as understanding grows and practical steps are tried out between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, written reflections or those who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, family and everyday routines.
