About Niketa

Niketa Chohan is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. She uses straightforward, practical talking therapy to support people facing low mood, relationship difficulties and problems with motivation and self-esteem. She works in English and practices in the United Kingdom.

Niketa holds BACP registration and brings five years of professional experience to her work. In sessions she aims to create an open space where clients can talk about painful memories and current struggles without being judged.

Background and approach

She listens carefully and encourages homework or small tasks when they might help build new coping skills. This can include planning steps to reduce anxiety, testing unhelpful thoughts, or building strategies to handle cravings and urges. Niketa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She also uses client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to identify and change thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. She supports people working through grief, addiction, eating concerns, anger, career stress and life changes.

Additional focuses include abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, panic attacks and postpartum depression. Sessions aim to feel practical and focused while still attending to difficult emotions. People who choose Niketa can expect a calm, empathetic approach and clear suggestions they can try between sessions.

She helps clients set small goals and track progress over time. Taking the first step is acknowledged as difficult and she aims to make the process easier to navigate.

How Niketa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this approach helps pinpoint repeated dynamics and emotional triggers that affect current relationships and self-worth. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own priorities and experience. The counsellor reflects and listens closely so goals emerge from what the client says rather than from a fixed plan. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Niketa treats the choice as a collaboration and will discuss which methods seem most helpful for a person’s goals and preferences. Together they can try different techniques and adapt them if needed, so the plan fits how someone wants to work.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video can suit deeper conversations where seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, shorter weekly contact or when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and daily life.
