About Nikita
Dr. Nikita Mohta offers practical, evidence-informed therapy that starts with attention to trauma and day-to-day coping. She uses straightforward cognitive and acceptance-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain.
Her style is calm and focused, aiming to make sessions useful from the first meeting. Dr Mohta has a doctorate in psychology and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. She has spent a decade working across hospitals, colleges, schools and corporate settings before moving into independent practice.
Background and approach
That variety means she is used to different pressures and routines people bring into therapy. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused work alongside client-centred and attachment-based ways of relating. That mix helps with things like panic, coping after abuse, relationship communication, eating and body image concerns, and work-related stress.
She uses mindfulness and skills from third-wave therapies to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. The therapist encourages small, practical steps that fit a person’s life rather than asking for big changes all at once. People who contact Dr Mohta can expect a collaborative process.
Conversations focus on clear goals, building skills for day-to-day life, and understanding patterns that get in the way. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, chat or message to suit different needs.

How her approaches work online and in sessions
Dr Mohta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that keep anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines going. ACT supports people to clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and take meaningful steps even when feelings are strong.She also integrates trauma-focused methods and attachment-informed ideas to help people understand how past harm or relationship patterns continue to affect their feelings and choices. These approaches aim to increase safety in thinking and reduce the power of painful memories on day-to-day life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative stance helps make short-term goals and longer-term changes more realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video is useful for longer, skills-based work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or logging progress between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping focus on practical steps and skills.
