About Sara
Sara Sukhija is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem difficulties and addictions, among other concerns. Sara also lists codependency, attachment and intimacy-related issues among her focus areas. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that keep repeating in their relationships and day-to-day life. In sessions she listens for recurring feelings and past experiences that affect how someone reacts now. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so people can try different ways of being in relationships and manage strong emotions more effectively.
Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, trauma, infertility stress, and substance use issues. She has worked with clients who struggle with trust, control, body image and caregiver stress as well. The work often involves looking at how early relationships shape current difficulties and making sense of painful memories.
Practical work in the room can include talking through recent events, noticing relationship dynamics, and reflecting on what feels uncomfortable in close connections. Sessions are a place to name patterns such as people-pleasing or putting others first and to practice alternative responses in everyday life.
To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice operates with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How sessions work
Psychodynamic work online and what it offers
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and repeated patterns shape how someone thinks, feels and behaves now. Online sessions focus on noticing those patterns in everyday interactions and making sense of strong emotions that keep coming up. The approach helps with long-standing issues such as difficulties with intimacy, trust, abandonment or codependency. It can also be useful for managing anxiety, grief and responses to trauma by understanding the stories people tell themselves and the roles they fall into with others. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to agree which aspects of psychodynamic work are most helpful and adapt the conversations to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription. If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or treatment schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the exact options offered so you can pick the arrangement that fits your routine.Areas of focus
