About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or parenting concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, difficulties with sleep and eating, anger and low self-esteem, and those navigating life changes and career pressures.
Her approach blends several practical methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and try different actions. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how she attends to relationships and values in the room. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they may help with grounding and focus.
Sessions are shaped around what each person brings. Rakshita listens for cultural values, family background and personal priorities, and uses that to decide how to proceed. Conversations aim to be straightforward and clear, with steps you can try between sessions.
She commonly works on issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and intimacy-related concerns. Rakshita also addresses more specific worries like abandonment fears, body image, fertility-related distress and first responder stress.
If someone is unsure how therapy will feel, she encourages trying an initial session and using that meeting to set goals. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values rather than trying to eliminate every difficult feeling. It can be useful for persistent guilt, shame and anxiety when someone wants clearer next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different responses to shift feelings and behaviours in daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rakshita will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as sessions continue.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at breaks, or letting someone use audio rather than video when that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical arrangements to help people keep therapy consistent alongside family, work and other commitments.
