About Rakshita

Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Rakshita speaks English and Gujarati and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work.

She treats each person as an individual and adapts conversations and plans to suit their needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings, rebuild routines, and restore a sense of control.

Background and approach

Rakshita values respect, cultural background and a compassionate approach when people bring painful experiences into the room. Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. That means sessions may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, clarifying values and practising present-moment skills to reduce distress.

The work is paced to what each person can tolerate and aims to give usable tools between sessions. Rakshita also uses Attachment-Based and Mindfulness approaches when helpful, for people who want to look at relationship patterns or develop calmer attention. She has particular experience with parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions and compassion fatigue.

Her BACP registration is shown as BACP. Therapy sessions are offered through online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step gets the process started.

How Rakshita’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters and small behaviour steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating problems. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on a non-judgemental, empathetic conversation where the person leads the pace and topic of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rakshita will discuss options and test what helps most, adjusting methods to match personal goals and how someone responds. That collaborative process aims to make therapy feel relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for written dialogue and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
