Sara Sukhija, BACP

Sara Sukhija is a psychodynamic counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. She offers calm, practical support and listens to what matters most. Her approach is suited to anyone wanting to understand why they feel a certain way and make changes that last.

Sara believes people can grow and reach their potential. She creates a respectful space where clients can talk through fears, grief or stress without being judged. Conversations focus on patterns from the past that keep causing problems now. This helps people make different choices in daily life.

She has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work has included addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, addiction, and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns.

Sara pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues show up in relationships and daily coping. She also works with body image, chronic illness, cancer-related distress, carer stress, and codependency. Practical topics such as sleep, eating, anger and career stress are included in sessions when relevant.

Sessions are available to people in the United Kingdom and are held online through several formats. The aim is to help clients build insight, reduce distress and develop clearer ways of coping that fit their life.

Psychodynamic care and online working

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early experiences and repeated relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand why they react in particular ways and how old patterns fuel anxiety, low mood or relationship problems.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. Clients and the counsellor discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they review progress and adapt the approach as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions suit people who need less bandwidth, and live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily routines, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
