Sara Sukhija offers calm, straightforward counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She introduces simple ways to make sense of painful feelings and to rebuild hope. Sara writes in plain language and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who may be worried or tired.

Sara is a psychodynamic counsellor with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP which stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

She has helped people facing depression, addictions, trauma and many common life stresses. In sessions she focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships and in how people cope. She will listen for the links between current problems and past experiences.

Conversations are aimed at helping someone understand those links and try different responses over time. Sara also works with issues such as self-esteem, body image and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness and recovery from domestic or substance-related harm.

She pays attention to how these problems affect day-to-day routines like sleep, eating and work. Practical choices about format are offered, including video, phone, chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

Sara seeks to create a steady, clear space where progress can unfold at a realistic pace.

Psychodynamic ideas and online therapy options

Sara uses psychodynamic counselling which helps people trace how early experiences and relationship patterns affect current feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and recurring emotional patterns because it aims to increase awareness and give people more freedom in how they respond.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. Sara will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that suit their situation. Together they review progress and adapt the approach if different support is needed.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth conversation and reading facial cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
