About Sara
Sara Sukhija offers straightforward, compassionate counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or difficult life changes. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Her work aims to help people make sense of painful feelings and find clearer ways forward.
Sara uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns shape present reactions. Sessions focus on understanding where difficult feelings come from and how they affect behaviour.
How Sara works
This can help with low self-esteem, relationship problems, addictions and intimacy concerns. She has three years of clinical experience supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, and complex issues like attachment wounds and abandonment. Sara also works with concerns such as body image, eating problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Her background includes addressing communication problems, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue. In practice she offers a calm, listening space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and reduce recurring unhelpful patterns rather than quick fixes.
Sessions can be short-term or longer depending on what the person needs. Therapy is arranged online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Psychodynamic care delivered online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape feelings today. It helps uncover patterns that keep repeating and explains why certain situations trigger strong reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems.Sessions are conversational and reflective. The focus is on understanding emotions and where they come from, rather than just fixing immediate symptoms. This approach can suit people needing depth and long-term change for issues like grief, trauma or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. Changes are made together as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions resemble in-person meetings, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility constraints and help people access consistent support regardless of location.
